October 1st is always a day of reflection and introspection for me. Seven years ago today, the October 1st shooting impacted so many lives and changed the city of Las Vegas. I remember clearly the tragedy and grief that followed. The one person I think about all the time is Quinton Robbins, a 20-year-old UNLV student who was the second youngest of the victims. He was described as an athlete and an excellent student who loved his family and loved life. As the mother of a young son at the time, I connected with his story and the unimaginable grief his parents must have been feeling. Quinton’s family started the Quinton Robbins Play it Forward Foundation to support athletes and sports in schools and continue his legacy and love of sports. He would be 27 and friends speculate he would be working or volunteering in support of youth athletics. In the days after October 1st, I couldn’t get him out of mind and the life he wouldn’t live. It made me reflect on how I was spending my time and how that reflected on what I valued. I think of him often, especially this year, with my own 20-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter in college. We saw the best in people in the Las Vegas Community as we came together to support victims and survivors. However, the most impactful personal outcome from this tragedy was gratitude for the ability to decide how to do what matters to positively impact those around me. Rest in peace Quinton Robbins. ?? ?? https://lnkd.in/eDz6udPY #VegasStrong #October1 #NeverForget

Life is ride...and we are often challenged to figure out how to #holdsteady, how to #buildstrength, and even how to #createanew during the swings and upheavals given us. This weekend I'll be offering a course for those of us in #difficultsituations; times of #loss, #uncertainty, #conflict, #worry. It is a course about moving toward the good anyway. About building structures of #happiness and #positivity that are sustaining while honoring how hard it can all be. And about cultivating a #resilient mindset no matter what. I hope you considering joining me online with the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health program featured below, Feb. 2-4, 2024.

#Happinessindifficulttimes #resilience #findingyourwayagain #cultivatingstrength #positivityintimesofchange We may not be able to stop the world from its harsh assaults, but we are able, if we choose, to focus our attention on the good within us and around us in order to find our way through. My weekend program, Finding Happiness in Difficult Times, at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, Feb. 2-4, is for anyone who is seeking a sense of the positive during times of loss, change, upheaval, confusion or fatigue. In this beautiful setting, we may give ourselves the chance to #rest, #reflect, and #grow in ways that are sustaining for us at this time. Please join me as we consider what strengthens us, how we may invest in respite, and what happiness may look and feel like in this moment.
