Regular readers may recognize the name Krishann Briscoe. She has been an integral part of The Conscious Perspective since last year, taking the reign of our Organization Spotlights, and being a sounding board for various ideas for this site. She is an amazing writer, a kind individual, and I am grateful to have her on board here.

The reason I am posting about Krishann, is because she and her family just recently welcomed a new daughter – she is a complete beauty just like her older sister.

Just wanted to say CONGRATS Kris, so happy for you!!

I’ve been getting hit with a lot of emails from the Chopra Center lately. I noticed that the 21-Day Meditation Challenge is gearing up for another round, and just today learned of a new YouTube Channel that has launched: The Chopra Well.

Deepak – along with his two children, Mallika and Gotham Chopra – are hoping to reach 100 million people, with the hope to inspire those to “change the world, one personal transformation at a time”. You can find the YouTube channel here.

The family is kicking off the launch today at 1:30EST with a live meditation guided by Deepak, and will include discussions with:  ”former Mexican President Vicente Fox; Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho; journalist and humanitarian Lisa Ling; actress and cancer spokeswoman Fran Drescher; Ashtanga yoga master Eddie Stern and social media expert Eric Handler from Positively Positive; and commemorate The Chopra Center’s free 21 – Day Meditation Challenge.”

Will you be tuning in?

Meet Hazel.

She is my niece, and GodDaughter.

She was born on January 27th, 2012 when we all learned that she has Trisomy 21 (aka Down Syndrome), and would require surgery on her bowels and her heart. The first surgery went well (she was only a day old!), and next week she will undergo open heart surgery to repair a hole in her heart.

Since Hazel joined our family, she has really outdone herself. She is teaching all of us so much about love and compassion, and we are thankful to have her in our family. She enriches all of our lives.

If you want to meet her, you can do so here on her own blog, Chasing Hazel, where her Mom and Dad are raising awareness about what it is really like having a child with Down Syndrome (hint… it is pretty much exactly the same as having a baby that doesn’t have Down Syndrome!).

I wanted to post today because she is an important part of my life, and I wanted to introduce you to her and her blog.

I also ask that you keep her in your thoughts and prayers on Wednesday. We know everything will be fine, but you can never have too many prayers.

But again – you should really meet her for yourself!
