Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
A SLM conversation with Renee King-Sonnen (Her vegan transformation from cattle rancher to cattle sanctuary) Renee King-Sonnen is on a mission to restore harmony and balance between us, animals, and our planet. This mission started with Rowdy Girl, an abandoned calf on her husband’s Texan cattle ranch. Her husband asked her to help nurture and mother Rowdy Girl. And, this changed everything; it was the start of a new way of seeing animals, a new diet, and a new life mission. Renee went on to become a vegan, to co-found Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, and work with the Rancher Advocacy...

info_outline SLM Short-ish 9: A SILVER LINING MOMENT in PROCESS & FRIENDSHIPSilver Lining Moments with Kerry
A moment of PSORIASIS & FRUSTRATION is lined by PROCESS & FRIENDSHIP. Silver Lining Moments are every where, in each moment, even in a moment of psoriasis (chronic condition) & frustration! In this SLM short, I talk about how a psoriasis flare-up has me feeling frustrated and angry filled with resentment and fear! These feelings may start with the psoriasis, but once I feel them, they spread to other areas of my life. Once the frustration feelings take hold, they create a filter through which I see everything that casts a shadow over all aspects of my life. The more I focus on my frustration,...

A moment of MOTHERHOOD is lined by Dreams A SLM conversation with Bonnie Silvestri Bonnie taught women in law classes that discussed legal issues around motherhood and families including topics like pregnancy and families in the workplace. When she became pregnant herself, these were no longer abstract issues in case books. They were personal. She realized that the whole "work life balance thing” was not so easily managed. She began to look at family leave policies around the world – in particular, she looked at countries that provided paid family leave like England...

Silver Lining Moments are every where, in each moment, even in your inbox and messages. Last week, I received a few "just messages". The messages that have "just" somewhere in them, such as "I am writing just because I am thinking of you" or "I just wanted to let you know that you are important to me/that you are doing a good job/that I appreciate your friendship." Often, these messages are short in words but big in their positive impact. These just messages are a ray of sunshine in my inbox that brighten my day and shine a light through the years in my heart. They are...

Are you looking for a sign that you are on the right track? When I asked for a sign that Silver Lining Moments is a worthwhile focus of good in the world, I saw this "sign"; it's in the form of a SILVER-LINED bath tub in a storefront showcase. Just like the light behind the cloud, a SILVER LINING MOMENT is always there - reminding us of the light in ourselves, in our conversations, in each other, and in each MOMENT. And, a SLM takes many forms - sometimes it's that little bit of encouragement or that "sign" you are looking for. This SILVER-LINED bath tub was the...
info_outline SLM Short 6: A Silver LIning Moment in a movieSilver Lining Moments with Kerry
SLMs are everywhere, in each moment. This one is in the movie 13 Lives, which is about the real-life cave rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach. They were trapped in the cave for 17 days. Some 10,000 people—including 2,000 soldiers, 200 divers and volunteers from around the world helped in their rescue. After watching this movie, I was in awe of how amazing people can be! Director Ron Howard said it best: “It’s a very contemporary theme that we need to remind ourselves of, and that is how powerful we can all be internationally or on a community level when we pull...

In this episode, I am doing something a little different. I am sharing a loving kindness meditation that I did with friends from around the world to expand love and kindness throughout the world.
For World Kindness Day in November of 2021, I invited 9 friends from the around world to join me in Zoom for a Loving Kindness Mediation. With this meditation, we are filling ourselves with love and kindness and extending love and kindness to the world.
Join in this meditation and feel the love and kindness fill your heart and soul. When you are loved, how do you feel? When you love someone else, how do you feel? Sit with these feelings. When you are filled with love and kindness, imagine your love and kindness expanding to others. Now, imagine people all over the world sitting doing this meditation and sending love and kindness into the world. See your love and kindness meet with theirs. From this place, our collective humanity is pretty cool, isn't it?!
You can also check out this guided meditation on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXONPoFYodE&t=10s. Beautiful photos of nature accompany the YouTube version. A big heartfelt thank you to Donna Harmony Jones for providing the photographs for this meditation. She captures the beauty in nature that foster a loving and kind energy for this mediation.
