What Can I (You) Do?

I watched in awe another inspiring morning sunrise, it was over the Sea of Cortez. The full video is on the CYWY FB group.

It was so simple and beautiful - a great way to begin the day - my heart was full and my mood hopeful - and then, just moments later, I learned, of three more shootings, two in Oregon and another in Minnesota. I immediately felt suspended in a surreal contridicting duaity.

The sense of joy from the sunrise, mixed with appreciation and hope, combined with shock, anger, rage, sadness and a sense of ever growing fear. With tears welling in my eyes - I asked myself...

What can I do?

With that question burning inside me, I sit down to do what I can do - create this newsletter.

We live in a world of extreme beauty and goodness and equally illness, ignorance and senseless harm. Two sides of the same coin.

The later a result of the forgetting of our connection, love and faith.

What I CAN do right here, right now, is put my energy and focus towards what I want to see in the world.

I invite you to consider the following invitations and opportunities that support connection, community, discussion, and pathways towards understanding - healing paths.

Reconnect with your core values and align your life with what matters most to you as you enter 2026.

Intentional Living Tuesday Circle

Facilitator: Sophia Carmien

Jan 13th, 7-9 PM MST

Do you have a clear sense of what actually matters to you, and does that show in your daily life? Or are your days mostly shaped by habit, urgency, reactivity, and other people’s expectations?

In this interactive workshop, you will identify values you resonate with and clarify which ones feel most essential right now. Values can shift over time, so this offers a chance to consciously check back in with yourself.

With that clarity in mind, put your values into action. Identify practical ways to bring those values into everyday life. Leave with a clearer internal compass to support a more meaningful and intentional 2026.
