Roy’s Sunday Letter for March 8, 2026
Meaningful Insights of the Week
This week’s Sunday Letter will highlight several insights, words and phrases I have read or heard this week.
Friends and family members who give us support continue to change, shift as illness, relocations, death, and lifestyle preferences reshape our circle of relationships. Hopefully, we are adding and inviting new friends, listening to their stories, as we reshape and strengthen our relationship circles. In what ways are you and those near to you reshaping and strengthening your relationship circles? If expectations on communications have shifted, have you shared these with others important to you?
- Community is a mix of those near and familiar and those not near but important to well-being and wellness. Communication and information sharing is open and continuous, whether in person or in a digital/streaming connection. There are new and different stressors impacting our well-being today than there were three or five years ago. What communication style is best for you today? Is it different in 2026? Letting others know will keep your communities supportive and encouraging.
For me, making the world a better place is an outcome of continuous learning. There are those who learn best individually…perhaps self-study…slowly gaining knowledge and understanding. I learn best in the company of others, sharing what we heard or read, helping each other to understand and ask questions. I learn from others different than my culture, my experiences and witnessing. What is the learning environment best or more enjoyable to your learning experience.
Roy, every week an enjoyable surprising writing experience
I learn best individually, I enjoy imput from the people I trust, but in the end I value my own counsel. Listening or conversing in a large group causes my mind to wander and I find myself having to re-focus on the conversation or lecture. I am not an auditory learner I am a visual learner and with my limited eyesight I am having to reimagine my learning style. Even old dogs can learn new tricks.
So many ways to listen, read, and learn
Only child learning limiting
Learning for me is like a covered dish or picnic
I learn something each taste, each basket beyond my own
We do so together, helping each other find the best path for out Now. Roy
Mostly individually, however nothing can eclipse a sprinted conversation, a Roy, we have had so,e great ones! Ever grateful,, Roger
Roy, you are good at setting the stage. The world seems to be changing more rapidly every day. Our objectives, wants, and needs are part of the reshaping of our lives. Ending seemingly familiar and secure connections appear and seem to end quickly without warning. Managing these changes and finding new alternatives can be stressful and most disturbing. After being thrown from the horse we sometimes struggle to find reliable quality options. Being connected to community seems to be most important. “Research” seems to identify that “being in community” is extremely important to maintain not only a quality life, but “being in community” is required for life itself. I believe that actions such as the publishing of a Sunday Newsletter can be a healing “ointment” for the mending of souls.
Brother Peter, I know no other way
Yes stress of a different kind ia our path today
Be wise
Be resilient
Never far from the others heart and spirit……Roy
Near to you, even from afar.
Connections are different, more challenging now
Connections also more rewarding
Now, fingers on keys fpr SL for 3/15/26. An unknown outcome……Roy
I LOVE in person, present with no cell phones ringing or text messages dingling. My friend Ivan, formerly of Patina Gallery, has created Salon 1033. A gathering of creatives, like of yore, who discuss and share a topic area of interest. NO ONE wavers from that in person moment of connection. A true blessing. X/O Always.
Heart to heart
spirit to spirit
As we touch our edges together we find our whole
Roy
