Last week was a busy one for me. Busier than usual. I had six two-hour business meetings, two blog interviews, a half-dozen coaching sessions with copywriters, and three business dinners. Not to mention all the follow-up research I was doing on the Epstein scandal and the Charlie Kirk assassination.

I have fewer appointments scheduled for this week, which is good. But unless I can meditate my way down to some reasonable semblance of calm and acceptance about these two events that I have no control over, it’s going to be just as stressful as last week.

In any case, what follows is less than half of what I prepared to put in this issue. I figured that my readers may feel less disturbed by these two stories than I am, and I didn’t want to subject them to more than they could take.
