Hello, hello everyone. This is Tanya Dalton, owner of Inquell Press, and I'm here to give you another episode of The Weekender, a many episode to help you end your week on the right note.

Sad Guru is an Indian mystic and humanitarian.

He's the founder of Isha Foundation, which administers yoga centers around the world, including India and the United States.

He published a powerful poem in 2015, which I listened to at least once a month during a meditation.

I wanted to share it with you because I feel like the message is so powerful, especially at this

time of year when we're all dreaming of our new year ahead. The year is coming to a close,

and what have you done this year? One more year gone. Are you still alive? And what are you alive to? What are you dead to? When was the last time you saw a full moon? Or a sunrise? When was the last time you gazed at a mountain or the ocean? Or looked at a butterfly

fly? When was the last time you saw a flower blossom? Or kicked a ball? When was the last time

you smiled at yourself? When was the last time you looked back and could laugh at yourself?

For the last few days of the year and the years to come, get in the act and make it happen for yourself.

Come alive. My challenge to you is what will you do today to help ensure that you do come alive in the year to come.

So I hope this weekender has helped you and your week feeling a little more productive.
