2023 thus far, for me, has been quite the experience and wasn’t expected when I finished out my last episode. I decided that the topic Flow would be a good one to banter on as it’s an experience that I feel really good when I am in it. What is Flow and how do I get in it? Well, this research started back in the 1960’s by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (phonetic pronunciation: Me high? Cheeks send me high!) and to quote him, ““The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times . . . The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.”

GOOD DAY. It’s the week of Christmas when the countdown of chaotic last-minute shopping, cooking, baking and final preparations take place no matter how you intend to celebrate this year or choose not to.
I find it to be rather fortuitous that I am posting this today as I manage a personal emergency situation (non-Covid) and as Jean is doing the same herself.
This last of 2020 Marlo’s Conversations with Friends is about PRAYER as WELL-Being and it’s not your usual conversation around the topic. I am deeply honored to be able to share this dialogue with a friend I hold in a very high, sacred space – Native American Wisdom Healer and Leader, Jean Reddemann. Jean and I have a really thoughtful conversation around what Prayer really means, what it really looks like and how you can make it a part of your every moment without even realizing it.
