The Essence Of Life

The essence of life is to find and savor the good and joyful moments, even and especially when things feel challenging around us. When everything goes wrong, can we also find the goodness that is present? Even when we feel lost, can we feel how abundant our life is? Let us lean further into the things that feel replenishing now — the aspects of our lives that feel abundant and that help us feel recharged. And let us extend the abundance we find to ensure that everyone in our community is taken care of.

Show up with patience and compassion for yourself and others. How can you hold yourself in love even through the unknown moments, even through the challenges of life? And how can you pass along that same love, understanding, and grace to others around you? Amidst the opportunities to sit with what feels challenging this week, take time to create a sanctuary to rest deeply and honor your needs.
