We will discuss the benefits of meditation, the different types of meditation, have a short demonstration, leave with a guided meditation you can use daily, and end with a Q&A. Our lives are full of busy schedules and a constant stream of information to process, leaving most of us feeling highly stressed by the end of the day. Many people are turning to Meditation to boost our emotional and physical well-being. People who practice meditation as part of their regular routine have reported higher levels of happiness, patience, and compassion. They also show lower levels of stress and frustration, which leads to other benefits like lower blood pressure and increased energy levels.

Topics include quality of life tools, palliative and hospice care for animals, memorializing pets, and working through the grief of losing a much-loved companion.

It took me years and years as an editor to discover a great truth: most events in life can be simplified and explained through a powerful short story.
But what makes a story powerful, and memorable? Is it vivid description of characters, problems, concepts, or solutions that helps us remember and repeat these stories?
We will cover these issues and discuss classic parables, allegories, and fables, and why we remember them.
