How Does Embracing Change Work?

Embracing change, rather than resisting it, serves us best. Nobody denies that change is scary.  Humans seek comfort, be it in our homes, relationships, clothing, foods we consume, and so forth.  There is a certain level of comfort in the familiar.  As such, when that which we are used to changes, it can be extremely disconcerting.

How are we Luminous Beings?

“Luminous beings are we – not this crude matter.” – Yoda.

An old-fashioned letter-writing campaign

One non-violent action we can ALL take: We KNOW that Congress is going to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).  I have never understood why, except that it was an Obama idea and thus an affront for whatever reason. I know a LOT of people who benefit from any number of provisions of the ACA, and who are far too likely to suffer if it is taken away.  There are even more people I DON’T know that will be
