Evan Dawson, host of Rochester, NY's NPR station WXXI News Connections, and I had a fun conversation on his show yesterday -- "Ten years later, a doctor who left Rochester to practice in Canada reflects on the decision" Thank you to all the Rochester folks who called in. Lovely to hear from you!
Unfortunately, apparently I'm unable to share the link or even screenshots because of Canadian regulations, but do look it up if you're interested!

Ten years ago, Rochester,NY NPR WXXI radio host had me on his show Connections to talk about the reasons behind my upcoming move as a family physician to Ontario, Canada. A listener recently reached out to him to ask how things are going 10 yrs later, so I’m going on his show again tomorrow January 15th in the noon hour. Link to listen is https://www.wxxinews.org/show/connections and will be in my bio. You can also find them on YouTube. Should be fun!

Being proud of a streak is antithetical to pretty much everything I am cultivating in my meditation practice - non-striving, non-judgement, acceptance, etc, etc. But still the days strung together into the streak of days of meditation (for me at least 20 min on my cushion). Meditation effects not only my state (helps me feel more grounded and at ease in my life) but also my traits (that one takes longer of course, but a tiny bit less reactive over the years). And now I’m heading into 5 days of silence at Sugar Ridge, a time to renew for the New Year. Grateful for this all. 🧘‍♀️

Meditate - Activate - Celebrate! I’m just coming out of three days in retreat with the Consciousness Explorers Club - there was time for silence, for meditation, for open authentic connection, for exploring, for laughter, for fun! (Meditation Dance Party! Bonfire!) It is the people that make this community and this retreat so special, and I don’t have pics of people to share, so I share only images of the beautiful space we shared for 3 days. I love these people. For anyone interested in connecting, check them out at .
