It’s easy to feel grateful for the things in life that comfort us, uplift us, or make our days brighter. But even the unwanted moments — the challenges, disappointments, or difficult seasons — often carry a quiet gift inside them. They reveal our resilience, deepen our compassion, and show us strengths we didn’t know we had. Reflection: What is one “unwanted” experience from your life that, looking back, offered you something valuable?

Hi everyone, Just a quick reminder that tomorrow we’ll be gathering for our next Exploring the Wisdom Keys session, where we take a deeper dive into how to actually apply Wisdom Key #1 — Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You — in everyday life. Here’s a question we’ll explore together: WHAT IF LETTING GO TOOK NO EFFORT AT ALL... NO ACTION... AND WAS SIMPLY AN ALLOWING? If that idea sparks something in you, come join us.We’ll reflect, ask questions, share experiences, and look at how letting go can become a natural, peaceful shift — not a struggle. Link is in the Calendar tab. Looking forward to being with you! RSVP please (if you haven't already)

When I created The Wisdom Years community, my intention was to offer a safe, quiet space for reflection, conversation, and the application of the Wisdom Keys in daily life. It’s natural that some members may have resources, programs, or offerings—either their own or from others—that they feel could benefit our community. Some of these may indeed be valuable. However, if we open the door too wide, our peaceful space could easily become cluttered with promotions, links, and uploads—the kind of noise we all see elsewhere on social media. To keep our space clear and focused, here’s a simple guideline: 👉 If you have something you believe could be valuable to the community, please share ABOUT IT (not the link or file itself) in the Community Café. Let us know what it is and why you think others might find it helpful.If anyone is interested, they can message you privately for more details. This way, we can continue to support one another with meaningful resources while preserving the quiet, uncluttered atmosphere that makes The Wisdom Years so special. Thank you for helping protect the spirit of this community — a space for genuine connection, reflection, and shared wisdom. 🌸

Living in the Houston area. I am a life long student of spiritual traditions. A widower as of Dec 2024, finding a new life with new friends and activities.

I'm glad to be participating in this community. I'm a widow of 3 plus years in a huge transitional period of my life. Interested in all spiritual traditions and being present in the world to all that is. I live in New York City. I'm glad I met Rick recently and found this community.
