Let Them … Let Me … Mel Robbins & Lynn J Kelly

Just finished my second hearing of Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory (see book cover below). I found her words very helpful and familiar.

Also below is a link to another provocative blog post from Lynn J Kelly’s blog The Buddha’s Advice to Laypeople.

I highly recommend both authors and their work.

Do be, do be, do?

“The more awareness we can bring to whole situations, the more likely we are to see what’s needed, to know whether we should let things unfold without our interference or whether we have something truly helpful to offer. It’s amazing how few situations require our management.”

Once again, Lynn J. Kelly helps us understand equanimity and the importance of focusing more on being than doing.

Check it out and read the article below:

“Let’s Give It All Away”

How many times have we held on to things that will have no value for others and apparently no longer have any value for us because we’re not using them anymore? Rather than hoard, or worse yet, pay for storage for items we will no longer put to good use, why not donate them now?

Lynn J Kelly’s blogpost, You Can’t Take It With You, (see link below) is as provocative as always. It also reminds me of Paul Newman quote: “Let’s Give It All Away.” See his link at the bottom.

Let’s be minimalists. Let’s be donors. Let’s share the wealth.

Is It Harder to Practice Alone?

Attended a three-day retreat last weekend and enjoyed the meditation practices with some 80 people attending. Collective energy, collective mindfulness is a palpable reality.

Below Lynn J Kelly elaborates on what a retreat might do for each of us depending upon where we are on the path.

How ’bout you? Are retreats helpful for your practice?
