2020 Reflections

 Here's my 2020 reflections -  Accomplishments -  Formal meditation practice every day except the one day after "the burn that didn't happen". Support for Unified Mindfulness 5 day Immersion program, and was on the LBGTQ+, Technology & Parenting panels.  Did a Meditation 101 session for the Arizona Faith Network. Coaching my first meditation client (going on 6 months now). Had many introductory coaching sessions where I provided tips and tricks for gaining and refining peoples meditation practice.  Secular Invocation (opening prayer) at the AZ Senate.  Yup, legislators meditating. Lots of work in Humanity Forward Arizona helping to bring human focused policies and candidates (Suzanne Hug) forward.  Formed the 501c.4 pre-covid.  Was recognized by the national group, and got to meet Andrew Yang. Ran Sunday programs all year (and what a year) for the Humanist Society of Greater Phoenix.  Won an award for my contributions to my community...
