Hi there,

   It appears this is a pretty dead forum at this time, but I'll leave my mark here in case things pick up in the future!

   I recently rekindled my own interest in a mindful path after discovering Noah Rahetta's podcast Secular Buddhism and it transformed my life in the span of a few hours at work while I listened. I'm almost 50, have been practicing a self-educated means of meditating (read: I've been doing it wrong) for 35 years and only now am seeing real progress in bringing a mindful state to my waking life. Meditation and focusing on the aspects of the Four Noble Truths and the Eight Fold Path has improved my life in many ways in the last month, and I look forward to the next 50 years on this planet being my very best.

Thank you!
