Strength through Sharing
Featured Iron Butterfly: Melinda Rothouse
“I began a regular meditation practice in earnest during a time of intense crisis and upheaval in my life after moving to Austin, Texas. I had left New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and then the traumatic breakup of a long-term relationship. It felt like my life had been turned upside down and shaken, leaving me feeling battered, bruised, and terribly alone. I experienced extreme anxiety, including panic attacks, along with intense feelings of anger and bewilderment.” Read Melinda’s #shortinspirationalstory

#ButterflyKisses
Today’s #butterflykisses honors the work of Emma J. Bell again with Joseph Oubalkas. He says he had a great youth and got his degree and started his own IT company by the age of 20. By 24, he was working successfully for a client in Morocco, which was the land of his father. One day, for no apparent reason, he was surrounded by gunmen, taken in for questioning and convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. And, despite the court finding errors in the process and determining the alleged conviction was wrong, they held him for TEN years in appalling conditions.
