Warm greetings, dear Friend!
I hope that the new year is off to a great start for you,
and that 2025 is filled with blessings of EVERY kind. 🙏🏻
In last month’s newsletter, I mentioned that I’d like us to share “tools” / (spiritual) practices with each other this year that help us to access JOY.
This month, the one that I’d like to share with you is SILENCE.
At this point in my journey, daily meditation is absolutely necessary for my well- being. (Just ask my beloved wife Kim what I’m like if I miss even a few days “on the cushion”!) And, that’s only one way to cultivate SILENCE. Here are some simple ways to do so in a busy day:
– drive without listening to the radio
– walk/run/work out without listening to a podcast
– stand in a lineup without checking your phone
– enjoy a meal without watching t.v.
My invitation to you is to create moments of SILENCE in your day and to let me know how it goes. I wish you JOY with the process!
In keeping with this month’s theme of SILENCE, I offer you my song Be Still. May it serve you well!
How about YOU, dear Friend? What “tools” / (spiritual) practices would you like to share this month? WHEREVER you are on your journey, I would love to hear from you. Please e-mail me; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other.Â
(THANKS for being a part of my journey, and SPECIALÂ THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my newsletters; reading your comments is always a highlight of my month.)
And, as always…
You can listen to my songs and chants here and here.
You can find the words to my songs and chants here.
You can buy my CDs here.
UPCOMING AND ONGOING EVENTS
I’m a busy man – and happily so! I perform as a solo artist for many churches in both Canada and the U.S. (in person, online, and with pre-recorded videos), as well as for many local retirement homes. I also perform in several local musical groups.Â
For more detailed information on any of my performances, please click on any date in my online calendar. And if I can serve YOU in any way with my words and music, please know that it would be my great pleasure to do so!Â
All of my music can be enjoyed any time on my YouTube channel, and I would really appreciate it if you were to visit it and then click on “Subscribe”. (And if you’re a Facebook user, I would really appreciate it if you were to “Like” my Fan Page and then click on “Following”.) Thanks so much!
As a very dear and wise friend in Montreal once said to me, “All I can offer you is my experience”.
My sincere desire, in every one of my newsletters, is to encourage us all to live our Big Lives one Small Step at a time.
Much love to you, dear Friend!
I bless you on your journey,
and I wish you Ease and Grace and JOY
in living your Fullest Expression.
Go with Love,
– Nathen
