GIVING and
FORGIVING
Nathen’s Newsletter
November ’17
Warm greetings and blessings to you, dear Friend!
May you be filled with lovingkindness.
May you be safe and protected from all inner and outer dangers.
May you be well in body and mind.
May you be at ease and happy.
THIS MONTH’S TOPIC
SO much going on… SO much to process.
How do we make the most of every moment?
By taking care of ourselves FIRST.
we’ll have less to give of ourselves to others.
(Many times in the last few months, I’ve had moments when I felt so good that I’ve laughed out loud in joy – a new experience for me.)
Now, more than ever, the world needs us to show up as fully as we can!
IMPORTANT NOTE, for all of the “recovering perfectionists” who are reading this (you ARE my tribe, believe me!): we can’t and we won’t do this perfectly… So let’s remember to gently FORGIVE ourselves for our old, limited ways of thinking and behaving, show up as fully as we can, and take whatever Small Steps that we can to move forward in our brilliant, precious lives.
(Rhetorical question!)
YES, YAY and AMEN!
So – with gratitude and curiosity – I eagerly say YES to GIVING and FORGIVING.
In honour of GIVING and FORGIVING,
I offer you my songs “A WholeHearted Life” and “To Love”, from my “YES” CD; may they serve you well.
(You can listen to my songs and chants here.)
(You can find the words to my songs and chants here.)
(You can buy my CDs here.)
(It’s now in its second season; season 1 is available on Netflix.)
(BIG THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my newsletters; reading your comments is always a highlight of my month.)

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. May you GIVE and FORGIVE with Ease and Grace, and may you go with LOVE.
– Nathen
