practicing in real time


So get this.

I scheduled two "open house" Zoom calls for people who wanted to learn more about the Shame School Community.

One was scheduled for 1 p.m. yesterday and the next one is scheduled for February 24, at 4 p.m. Eastern (click here to add it to your calendar).

I didn't get any notifications informing me that anyone had registered so I assumed no one was interested (and yes, underlying that thought were other, not-so-benign thoughts).

I almost didn't even sign in for the call.

But something told me I better jump on, just in case.

That's when I realized I was 10 minutes late.

And someone was there.

I could feel the stream of comments my brain wanted to spew at me...I could feel my posture wanting to crumple in. My nervous system engaged to assess the "threat" and I may have fawned a bit.

How human of me.

Turns out, I wasn't getting the notifications because I didn't know I had to click a box to be notified by email.

Meantime, if you'd like to join me on February 24 at 4 p.m. Eastern, click here. I'll be there early :-)

Much, much love,

Karen

In the movie The Sixth Sense, a young boy named Cole Sear can see and talk to the dead. "I see dead people," he says to the psychologist he sees. Cole says the dead walk around like regular people, but they don't see each other and they don't know they're dead. His gift was distressing to him and he often felt isolated because of it. Cole eventually overcomes his fear of the ghosts that visit him and is able to help them find closure. I see shamed people. I can see and talk to them...they...
