On this Thanksgiving morning, I want to pause with you and take in the quiet beauty of this day. There is something deeply nourishing about setting aside a moment to appreciate the simple miracle of being alive. Of breathing, of feeling, of being present to the fullness of our lives. Today is a day to honor the people who have touched our hearts, walked beside us, shared laughter, listened deeply, or simply made life a little lighter and a little more beautiful. Whether they are near or far, their presence has left an imprint that lives within us. It’s also a day to appreciate the small, everyday moments that so often go unnoticed. The warmth of morning light, the comfort of a familiar voice, the softness of a quiet moment, the kindness exchanged between strangers, the feeling of belonging. These are the moments that shape a life and remind us of the quiet abundance we already carry. As we give thanks, let’s also honor the wisdom that has grown in us over the years. The insight that comes from living, loving, learning, and simply paying attention. The wisdom that shows up in the softening of our hearts, the clarity in our choices, and the quiet peace we feel when we pause long enough to notice. And I want to say from my heart: I’m so grateful for this community. For the sincerity, openness, and humanity each of you brings. There is something special growing here. A sense of belonging, of shared understanding, of walking the path of life together with kindness and care. May today fill your heart with warmth and meaning. May you feel surrounded, in person and in spirit, by the goodness that has touched your life. May you savor the simple joys that make this day feel so alive. And if you feel so moved, I invite you to share with us what is in your heart in this moment. Wishing you a peaceful, meaningful, and love-filled Thanksgiving. With gratitude and love, Rick

Hi everyone, Thank you for being part of The Wisdom Years. This community exists because people like you care about living — and sharing — from a deeper place of wisdom. Together, we have the chance to model what the world most needs: calm hearts, clear minds, and compassionate action. To keep growing and serving well, I’d love your feedback. Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey — it will help us see what’s working, what can be improved, and how we can keep building something meaningful together. 👉 [Take the Survey Here] The survey will also go out by email and text (we want to be sure everyone gets to complete it) but you can easily complete it here. Every voice matters — and your reflections will help shape the future of The Wisdom Years. With gratitude,Rick

In this first Exploring Wisdom Keys session, "Why Resisting Reality is Making You Miserable" we’ll dive into resistance in a whole new light—why it keeps us stuck, and how applying the Embrace the Season key can turn tension into relief. You’ll be guided through a powerful eyes-closed process to find where resistance lives in you and release it, opening the door to greater ease, presence, and genuine happiness. There will also be plenty of time for Q&A and open discussion, so you can share insights, ask questions, and connect with others on the same path toward peace. The event is Tuesday, 10/13 at 11 AM EDT. Click on the calendar for details and to attend.
