[close] "Find Joy, Cultivate Peace, and Live Well" – This Goodreads book club is more than a group; it's a community bound by the shared experiences of living with ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). Here, we explore the transformative power of literature, art, music, positive affirmations, and mindfulness practices. Here, we can exchange insights and create a lasting resource of wisdom, compassion, and support. In this community, members can share journeys, find support, and explore diverse literature. I aspire to create a positive, resilient, and adaptable space, fostering inner peace and happiness. Let's navigate life together, sharing coping strategies and creating a profound sense of connection and support. Join me in this exploration of well-being. I aim to foster a supportive community where we celebrate every small victory on our journey. I aspire to create a beneficial ongoing resource for many generations to come. There's no fixed start date; this is an ongoing and self-paced group. So, dive in anytime, check discussions that appeal to you, and add your comments or insights when you feel like it. There is no need to acquire the books; simply choose topics that interest you in the discussion board and go at your own pace. Each topic has reflective questions to consider, also at your own pace. This is truly a self-paced group that respects our challenges with chronic illnesses. Take your time, respect your energy, and enjoy!

[close] This group is for anyone who is Death Positive, death doulas, end-of-life midwives, hospice workers/volunteers, and anyone who has ever or will ever experience a death (yes, that means YOU!). We encourage open, honest discussion about the one thing that we are all guaranteed in this life, Death. My hope is that we can dull the fears, and return the sacredness of death to our universal consciousness, to allow everyone to live their unique life to its fullest until their last exhale. "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born The potential people who could have been here in my place But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA So massively exceeds the set of actual people In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds How dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state From which the vast majority have never stirred?" -Richard Dawkins
