Twenty twenty twenty

Mind the "umm's" and the "annnnnd's".
It's how well we help each other and support each other that  will bring us together.
Showing compassion to those that are on their own journey of life. Just as how we need to show ourselves compassion. We all have blindspots and whether it be pride or our attachments we may often not receive gifts of criticism. 
We all saw and heard the insurrection attempts that got Trump impeached a second time. These are not the way to communicate with each other of what we need and what we want. It's listening to each other and finding the similarities that will help to bridge what is fundamentally our love for each other over the differences. On this "blue" Monday I offer my love to you and encourage you to do the same for another.
I hope Martin Luther King Jr. would support this message.

Love you all

I think the interaction Jack Kornfield had with the koans was with Master Suzuki Roshi, but I could be mistaken.

Here is my TOP 5 ways to protect yourself from toxicity in the workplace.
Please note that date and time is important for tip #1 (work journal). 

Sorry for not having an episode last week, I will chalk it up to technology.

Will make up for it with an extra episode this week and a bonus episode.

Thanks for listening.

I'm gonna try my hand at dating apps and online dating. This is relatively a first for me because the only other time I tried it was when tinder first launched and I didn't find any of the connections meaningful. Also, I was interested in the lead up to dating someone and the back story related to that instead of the simple, "we met online". But I don't have any qualms about it. I also share other stuff happening in my life. Hope you're all safe and taking care of yourselves. If you have any advice on dating I'm open to it. Email me at nthpod@gmail.com Thanks for listening! I'm grateful and it fills my heart that you do! Much Love!
