“Grace comes when you are not.
When the ego disappears, grace is already there.” Osho
AN EXCERPT FROM THIS WEEK’S SOOTHE NEWSLETTER

Grace is that gift from Life, or the Divine, that arrives without being earned — it’s the unexpected blessings that come our way, like a sudden opportunity or an unseen protection. It’s the favour we receive despite our own efforts, reminding us that not everything is achieved through work alone.
Grace is intimately connected to the essence of the holiday season. As we celebrate the return of the light, we are reminded of how this gift is given freely, year after year, as the sun pauses at the Winter Solstice and slowly begins to bring longer days once again.
The Christian tradition teaches that Love descended at Christmas with the birth of Christ — the light that illuminates the world.
Light, love, and grace together define the true spirit of this time of year.
As the holiday rush and celebrations begin for many of us this week, let’s make space to pause, reflect, and appreciate these qualities.
Let us take a moment to recognize the love and light that fill our lives, and acknowledge the many ways grace touches us.
May we continue to receive the grace that Existence would shower on us with open hearts and remember how to embody it in all our actions.
