My daughter planned a ski weekend for her birthday and we were thrilled to be invited. Yet I wimped out and chose not to go skiing. When I made my choice, I thought my fear of falling and hurting myself was keeping me safe – but it was really holding me back. Now that I understand this, I have to figure out how to choose differently next time - to make a life-filled rather than a fear-filled choice.

I spent a lot of time in the car this week and passed many of those crazy, human-esque, inflatables that flap hysterically in front of rug stores and auto dealerships. You know the ones - the wind pushes them over and moments later they are back upright, grinning crazily as if to say, “I’m fine! Everything’s OK! I’m good!” They got me thinking that resilience is not like that for people. Resilience is not about going back to the way we were before. It’s about moving forward as the person you’ve become because you’ve navigated something difficult and allowed it to form you into someone new, someone a touch wiser, someone slightly more evolved, someone filled with a little more humility and a little less fear. That’s way better than bouncing back, don’t you think?

Resilience isn’t going back to the way things were before. It’s moving forward as the person you’ve become because something hard formed you into someone new.

Good morning. Am I alone in thinking the world is a lot right now? It is natural to feel helpless in the face of the world’s needs. An old story from the Talmud reminds us that if we each do our tiny, little bit, it is good and it is enough.

Happy New Year! This year a single word is my New Year’s resolution, my intention for 2026, and my word of the year. The word is YES. You could say I came to this resolution the hard way and I’m grateful that I did. After years of challenging, painful, and scary life events, I have learned that these events themselves are not what causes me the most suffering. What sucks the life out of everything is my resistance to what is happening. So, mostly because I have learned the hard way that NO cripples the soul, I am all in as I greet this new year with a resounding YES.

Good morning and a very happy new year to you! Several months ago, after flipping through a family photo album from when our kids (and we) were young, a friend looked across the room at much-less-young me and asked, “What happened to you?” I won’t lie. His joke stung. But do you remember the old story, The Velveteen Rabbit? You could say that, like that little toy rabbit whose fur had been loved off and whose joints had become loose and very shabby, what happened to me is that I have become “real” or loved. If that’s the case, I sure hope life and love keep showing up on my face for years and years to come.

Gathering with the ones we love can be both the best and (sometimes) the hardest part of Christmas celebrations. Human relationships just seem to be that way. One of the hardest things we do for those we love is caregiving, but it’s also one of the deepest and most sincere expressions of love available to us. The gifts of caregiving flow both ways, in large part because when we show up for people in moments of need and vulnerability, we are showing up right where God is. What if we started to think about taking care of one another as a form of prayer?

Caregiving is hard work. But what if, when we show up for people in moments of need and vulnerability, we are showing up right where God is?

This season of giving and receiving gifts is a good time to ask yourself – what if joy is a gift we don’t have to wait to receive? What if joy is something that we can seek and even create for ourselves? I know you’re busy, but take a moment to ponder what you could do right now that would give you a little joy. Now, give yourself the gift of doing it!

“It’s me. I’m the problem. It’s me.” Taylor Swift has a point. 99% of the time, fighting what is happening to us causes more suffering than what is happening. If we can stop resisting, rejecting, and refusing whatever we fear, a surprising peacefulness washes over us. We find ourselves free to live our way through it (whatever “it” is) – which is always much less awful than worrying about it was.

“It’s me. I’m the problem. It’s me.” Taylor Swift has a point. Usually our resistance to what is happening to us is more upsetting than what is happening.

Do you remember the Twilight books? I’ve never forgotten when Bella says, “Without the darkness, we’d never see the stars.” This month when the hours of daylight are outweighed by darkness, it’s good to remember to look up and count the metaphorical stars shining in the moments of your day-to-day life.

“Without the darkness, we’d never see the stars.” In this dark month it’s good to remember to look up and count the metaphorical stars shining in your life.

Good morning! I hope you and yours had a very happy Thanksgiving. Some years it is easy to count my Thanksgiving blessings. Some years it’s harder. No matter what’s going on, if I’m paying attention, I have found that there are always moments that I wouldn’t change; that I in fact treasure. Noticing these moments is the key to having a thankful heart.

Some years counting my Thanksgiving blessings is easier than others. No matter the struggle there are moments that I wouldn’t change. Noticing these is the key.

We all have them - moments that forever demarcate “before” and “after.” In these defining moments, we have a choice. We can cling to what was - working desperately to get back to normal. Or we can choose to be curious - wondering about the possibilities of what lies ahead. It is a choice that will make all the difference in the way we experience our lives.
