A Prayer for Compassion

Mastering Diabetes Book

What the Health

The Juicy Bits:

  1. To be a grown-up, we're taught to bury feelings. But meditation and spirituality help bring them out again.
  2. We all have distractions, especially tech. Find a little time each day to tune in.
  3. 4 pillars of well-being: whole-foods plant-based diet, exercise, meditation or prayer, sleep
  4. 6 reasons to go vegan: environment, health, social justice, pandemics, animals, world hunger!
  5. Voting with your dollar is your most important vote.
  6. We're indoctrinated into violence, and we're tribal people who need community. But we no longer need to fear being cast out and sent to our death if we disagree.
  7. Judgment doesn't reach anyone. Lead with compassion.
  8. Every religion's teaching of compassion is aligned with veganism.
  9. When what we say is out of alignment with what we do, WE SUFFER - Dr. Sailesh Rao
  10. Thomas's favorite foods: pb&j, coffee, pastas, stir-fries, salads, smoothies, fruit, and Blaze Pizza
  11. Use discernment and educate yourself.
