Showing up and being present. Doing something…creatively. Sounds so simple and yet…I join you in reflecting how to do this to help heal and forgive institutions and in doing so…heal and forgive myself.

Can’t wait for Friday’s field trip to Nicaragua!

Thanks for sharing all that. I resonated with a lot of it, but here’s one particular line that rang clear as a bell:

“The farther I move from institutional religion and the longer I am away, the more convinced I am that salvation is for human systems not for human souls.”

Thank you for your insightful perspectives on your personal journey, especially in this time of struggle to maintain some sense of peace and justice in this world where much of we have worked for our whole lives of service is being lied about, trampled upon, and destroyed. We too continue to walk with immigrants and their safety and humane treatment.

May we all continue walking with and for and alongside one another. Some days it feels like there’s much else we can do.

Indeed, none of us can do it all, but all of us can do something, and it’s so important to both forgive ourselves and trust ourselves. Thank you for sharing your heart with us! 💖

I’m still unlearning alot of lessons I was taught about not forgiving or trusting myself. It’s a journey.
