    This is the audio recording of our monthly Zoomy Zoom with the Team Ripples Patreon Community. Weshared several stories & ideas from my summer adventures. The notes and links from the session are pasted below. You can also watch the video replay here.PEBBLEPixar's Inside Out 2 adds anxiety, embarrassment, ennui, envy, and a hint of nostalgia to the original team of emotions we got to know in the first movie: joy, sadness, anger, fear and disgust. Trailer here.BOULDER3 sounds to stimulate the vagus nervehttps://www.facebook.com/reel/10040317214156761. hmmmmmm2. ohm/aum3. haPONDERA. The Sonder of Musings…I originally came across the word "sonder" in the mesmorizing 10 minute video called SOULFULLY BEAUTIFUL from Reflections of LIfe (who I first learned about from Grateful Living: https://grateful.org). I then learned the term SONDER, defined as "the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it. The word was coined by John Koenig, who compiled a compendium of created words in the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and also created a short video just to unpack his special word Sonder.B. Dementia is not a Death (Psyche.co article)Dementia is not a death. For some, it marks a new beginningC. 10+ Happy SongsI originally stumbled upon a list of 10 songs that will make you happy based on research from a music psychologistin articles in Inc. and Science Times. I put the 10 songs in a Pandora Playlist:And then I stumbled upon this list on Spotify that also claimed to be "the 10 happiest songs" based on research.D. Finally, the artwork I picked up from an adorable shop in downtown Frisco, Colorado called Stay Sunny Frisco" It's all connected, you know.Your gifts, your circumstances, your journey.None of it is by chance.Embrace it.It's molding you."~Ash Weisel Join Paul's Patreon Peeps to support Ripples and receive bonus content.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ripples.
