Wisdom Is More Beautiful than the Sun
Where do we turn when life hurts and the world seems to be against us? Today we’ll explore the surprisingly timely advice found in an ancient text, The Consolation of Philosophy, written by a Roman politician who fell out of favor and lost everything but the resources of his own mind and spirit.

To everyone who is feeling unsettled, sad, and angry about what's happening in our country, I want to share a meditation video I recorded to offer you some support when things are especially difficult.
You can watch the video here. Or, if you prefer to read the written version, here it is.
Thank you for practicing with me today, and thank you for caring so much about this world. You impact the world in many ways, often unseen and unsung but always deeply needed. We need you. Thank you for being yourself.

The Seniors Council - Project Scout
The Seniors Council is a community-based non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization providing services in Santa Cruz, San Benito, Monterey, and Santa Clara Counties. It is the mission of the seniors' council to enable older persons to function with independence and dignity in their homes and the community to their fullest capacity. We are excited to support Project SCOUT, specifically,
a program of the Seniors Council that provides free tax assistance to seniors, individuals with a disability, low-income families, and other individuals in Santa Cruz County. SCOUT also assists with general tax questions. These programs are coordinated as Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) or Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE). Many people in the fellowship are engaged in this as recipients, and we also have several members who are passionate volunteers, reducing financial stress and keeping much-needed income in households and our community.
Project SCOUT began operations in 1968 as an independent non-profit organization. Last year alone, it helped residents receive tax refunds totaling more than $1,900,000! The team of volunteers assists the community with their tax-related needs during tax season and is also available to help on a limited basis throughout the year.
