Re-Membering

Speaker: Beth Buelow has been part of the C3 Community since March 2018, and has loved every minute of it. She’s a business owner; leadership, team, and mentor coach; author, speaker, and mediator, and she has added photographer to the list of ways she wants to be known in the world. Musician: Hannah Laine is a musician and vocal empowerment coach from Grand Rapids, best known as the vocalist for the Future-Soul band Earth Radio. She began singing and songwriting at a very young age, and has found refuge in music as a way of healing and processing her life experiences.

Moment of Silence

Reading/Teaching: Beth Buelow

In life we think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem. The real truth is that things really don’t get solved. They just come together for a time, then they fall back apart. Then they come back together for a time and fall apart again. It’s just like that.

Personal discovery and growth come from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, room for relief, for misery, for joy. Let the hard things in life break you. Let them effect you. Let them change you. Let this pain be your teacher. The experiences of your life are trying to tell you something about yourself. Don’t cop out on that. Don’t run away and hide under your covers. Lean into it.
