The Sunday womens' group is meeting this Sunday, February 23, from 12:15-1:30 p.m. upstairs in Founder's House. Topic: Resilience in an Unpredictable World, with focus on our roles as women and society. From Katie Mack: I am suggesting a very short podcast to start us off: Rick Hanson, "Building Resilience Muscles". I accessed it through You Tube. Dr. Hanson gives an introduction to the cognitive  aspects of developing resilience,and the "intramuscular muscles" we can strengthen. 

Here as well is a reading: https://www.success.com/rohn-7-traits-of-the-most-resilient-people/
​
I'd like to suggest the following sequence: 

1. Introductions and check-in.
2. Review of some resilience strategies in the Pod cast and our own.
3. Being mindful of taking turns and not interrupting or offering advice without permission. 
4. And as always...Confidentiality: "What is said here, stays here."
​
This is a potluck Sunday, so fix your plate and join us!

Taz Kim is a female, twenty-year Air Force veteran who served in Afghanistan. She has devoted herself to serving veterans in the High Country through volunteerism and sweat equity, erasing apparent boundaries with her persistence, dedication, and humor.

Some notes from her presentation:

• - "I am Taz. I am here. I am a veteran. I am here to help today. Will you join my tribe?"
  
• - After a 20 year mission in major acquisitions, Taz was in search of a new mission upon her retirement from the military.
• - She began by giving rides to veterans for medical appointments and helping with veterans in hospice.
• ​- "I am building a tribe and our weapon is kindness." Taz's goals are buidling community and a commitment to one another.
• Recommends the book Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian Junger.
