Give a big welcome to our newest member, Lauren K, who is the owner of two fantastic communities, The Alchemist Playbook™ and The Prompt Academy. If you have an interest in AI, I suggest you head there pronto and see the beautiful things she has to offer in terms of education and business offerings. If you are not an AI advocate, neither was I until I decided to check out her educational courses. After that, I became hooked. Lauren, we are most glad to have you with us. Welcome to Bahá’í Foundations 101. We are glad you are here. This community is a quiet space for spiritual discovery, thoughtful reflection, and independent investigation. There is no pressure here — only an invitation to explore, ask, reflect, and grow at your own pace. Lauren, when you get a chance, make sure you complete the Start Here course first; it’ll help you get started right and provide a good model to make the most of your time in the community. Feel free to jump into conversations, ask questions, and share what you’re building. Also, be sure to get your copy of 101 Affirmations for a Joyful and Purposeful Life. Click Here Congratulations on taking that first step; every journey starts somewhere. Wishing you an amazing experience as you learn, connect, and get started. And remember, never be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck. What are you most excited to learn or achieve here?

Now, as out numbers are beginning to grow, I relish the idea having participation of our group calls; however, I have come to realize that Sunday at 10:30 AM ET may not be the best time for all. Therefore, I am asking for your help to develop a day and time that might work for all. To facilitate this and to ensure that nobody is put under any pressure, you are welcome to DM me with your suggestions or communicate with me via email at [email protected]. Please bear in mind that we have members from Arizona to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from each of you. Best, Kamal

The divine Manifestations of God had a universal and all-inclusive conception. They endeavored for the sake of everyone’s life and engaged in the service of universal education. The area of their aims was not limited—nay, rather, it was wide and all-inclusive. — Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
