Mindfulness teacher Jill Satterfield has been a frequent guest writer on our blog, writing honestly and movingly about how mindfulness practices can help us with real life (see Spiritual Sanity and When Red Flags Should Be Raised: Yoga Snake Oil, among others). Now Jill needs our help. She has been having serious heart problems recently that impacted her ability to travel and teach, which is how she earns her living. Now she is scheduled to have heart surgery to repair her mitral valve. And although Jill has health insurance, she now finds herself in need of financial help for expenses related to the surgery and recovery time. So I have put together a fundraising effort to support her at the GiveForward site. If you feel like contributing, go to giveforward.com. And please help spread the word, if you can. Many thanks!

HI Nina
I donated $100 today for Jill's operation. I tried to post a comment after on the Give forward site but the site would not let me sign up stating that I did not have the right password?? Anyways, I wanted to forward Jill this message. Could you please do that for me? merci Liza

HI, I do not know Jill but I absolutely love the YOGAFOR AGING articles and blog ( Merci Nina and Baxter) My husband had a Mitral Valve operation in 2001 and he is still going strong. When Jill is feeling better, her pranayama and meditation practice will be very healing for her heart. Jill, you will be fine! Cardiology is so advanced these days. Have faith! Love from Paris, France!
I have forwarded this comment to Jill. And thanks so much both for your donation and for this comment. We appreciate that you took the time to write to Jill!
