Dear , Dear Friend -

 I hope that this note finds you well, enjoying life and all of the goodness that it brings. And that you're able to gain benefit from ALL that it brings, the good, the bad, and the difficult.That really is the art of life (and meditation), isn't it?

Well, after two weeks of pretty steady work on it, my Indiegogo campaign has gone live. This campaign is asking people to help me to fund the next step(s) in getting my book out and in creating more FREE and service-content on my site. I just completed the video today (you'll see it on the site), and made it go "live" tonight. Whew!!! But this is just the beginning, now I've got to get people to it.

Can you please send this link to...everyone you know! Seriously, my goal is to get 10,000 visits in the next two weeks, an "unrealistic" goal - perhaps - but one that I'm shooting for. I'm trying to get this campaign to go "Viral," that is - to get a lot of buzz generated about it.

The Indiegogo campaign will help to fund a whole new way of bringing the benefits of mindfulness, awareness and compassion to you and others like you. It's purpose is to raise the capital to "re-launch" the book and to bring it to as many nurses, worldwide, as is possible. Additionally, if any additional revenue is raised, it will go towards creating a series of courses, video series, and other content to support you in your meditation practice.

It's an exciting time at Minding the Bedside. Thanks for being here and for showing up. Thanks for your feedback. As always, please let me know if there's something that you need to support you in your practice of meditation.

Warm regards,

Jerome Stone

In the coming weeks and months, the site Minding the Bedside, will be undergoing a radical transformation, much like the mind does when presented with the practice of meditation. What this means for you is that I'll be rolling out new content, media, videos, and all sorts of fun stuff. Stay tuned!

As part of my ongoing process of providing you with the best content possible, I invite you to comment on the changes and the content that I present. Also, please feel free to share the site with others who aren't familiar with meditation but who you feel may benefit from its practice.

I'm in the process of looking for guest authors and people to post on my site. If you or someone you know would like to write for the site, let me know. I'd love to have some new ideas and new writers for the site. You can contact me at: jerome@mindingthebedside.com
