Today I want to talk about empathy. Most days, the harshness of life is when others are judging us. The judgment comes from close mindedness and not having empathy for others. When we judge another, we are missing the most important part of the equation: the other person's history and personal path.

This is the time that we know as spring. It means we renew and new beginnings and we talk about spring cleaning and opening the windows, decluttering, cleaning out, freshening up in traditional Chinese medicine. And if you remember, I've spoken about this in the past that each season has organs that are related to it.
And so this time of year is our time of liver and gallbladder.

This week I want to talk about three glass jars. It is extremely difficult to see a higher learning when we're in the middle of a health scare. The stay in early January that I had at the hospital set me on such a journey to look for the greater learning in a pretty traumatic moment in my life. So what was the greater learning?

Teachers in our life can be people or events. This past January, I had a tremendous teaching moment when I landed in the hospital with viral bronchitis. As I was watching the EMT and the air docs and the nurses swirl around me, I surrendered and trusted I was in good hands. But I started to think about what it was that landed me in this situation and what was it that I needed to learn from this life event.

Recently, Ric and I found Turner Movie Classics (TMC). They were playing 24 Hours of Cary Grant. Wow. So much fun. We recorded all of them. And so when I went back, there was this movie I'd never seen before. It was called Houseboat. I'm going to play a short clip of the movie for you. I was so moved by this one scene. Cary Grant, he's divorced from his wife and she passes away. And so he returns to raise the three children. And this is a scene that he is explaining life and death to his son.

I've learned with traditional Chinese medicine that the winter is also associated with our kidneys. Each season has an organ system that it relates to. And so now with winter, it's our kidneys and we really want to take care of our kidneys. And that means warm -- warm tea and warm soup and warm food. We don't want to be eating cold salads and lots of fruit and ice cream and icy drinks. These are all harmful to our kidneys. This is all harmful to our immune system when we need it to be at its best and its strongest in the winter.

Great to be with you. This week I have my buddy here, Hoshi. So, she's going to be with us today. Today I want to talk about journaling. I've talked about it many times, but did you know or are you familiar with all the various types of journals? I thought we could talk about it today, and then it would be fun to see what resonates with us each day, and then we could have some fun with it.
