Women have a higher risk of Alzheimer's than men but often don't recognize what they can do to reduce that risk. Image is of a woman with outstretched hands, as if to hold a computer-generated image of a brain

Women and Alzheimer’s: Did You Know?

Of every three people in the United States living with Alzheimer's, two are women. And, even factoring in women's longer lifespans, they're twice as likely as men to develop the disease. But a recent poll indicated that many women don't know about their elevated risk, nor what they can do to reduce it. It's time to shift that. Studies show that brain changes quietly start to take place … [Read more...] about Women and Alzheimer’s: Did You Know?

Still thinking about the conversations, ideas, and Still thinking about the conversations, ideas, and welcome I experienced Saturday @wildgoosefest, and I know this experience will stay with me for a long time. πŸ’Ÿ

So grateful to my friends @secondbreathcenter for inviting me to the Goose as part of a panel discussing "Mothering as a Verb." 

We talked about ways we've been mothered; ways that we've mothered other people, pets, ourselves, ideas, and things including vocations; and how spiritual practice has supported us in and through that.

What's spiritual practice? It's practical tools and strategies that help you connect more with God, yourself, and others. These mind-body practices can help transform our way of thinking, feeling, and behaving away from fear and control ➑️ toward faith, hope, and love.

For example, through the years I've mothered my creativity, my vocation, and my children with the practices of journaling, mindfulness meditation, and centering prayer. These are some of the ways I refill my tank.

What are ways you fill your tank?

Second Breath offers classes and practices rooted in the Christian wisdom tradition and modern neuroscience. I first experienced those classes in 2018 and this fall will be facilitating an online group going through "The Inward Journey" together. If you're interested in knowing more (or getting a discount code for a class!) send me a DM.

For now, I'm treasuring my weekend, what I learned from many different speakers throughout the day, and the gift of these new sisters and their stories. 

tl;dr - I went to the Wild Goose festival and, as part of a panel formed by #secondbreathcenter, spoke about "mothering as a verb." It was deep, authentic, and meaningful.
