It’s Peace week of Advent, and I’m inviting you to join me in deliberately choosing peace as much as possible for the next seven days. Often, the very best gift we can give is to simply be peaceful and present. Think of a time where you were frantic and found calm solely because you ran […]
Peace Be With You
Transmit Joy
It’s Joy week of this Advent series, and I’m inviting you to join me in spreading joy this week. Joy is infectious, so that makes this week’s ‘challenge’ easy: fill yourself with as much joy as possible. This is very personal – I’m not sure what brings you joy. It doesn’t really matter though – […]
Be.Love.
It is Love week of this Advent series, and I invite you join me in committing to increasing the amount of love in the world this week. A couple of years ago, I took the “Calling In the One” course with a friend of mine; one of the best insights they shared was that each […]
Spreading Hope
Today is the first Sunday of Advent – a four-week long Christian tradition, when the faithful will prepare to receive Spirit (or Christ) on Christmas Day.

Reclaiming Advent: Peace Be With You
This week, I’m lighting the final outside candle of my Advent wreath and spending this week embracing peace. In the United States, we’re reeling right now from a horrific act of violence committed against children. We want to talk about controlling gun ownership and doing all we can to prevent something like this from happening […]
Reclaiming Advent: The Joy Game
It’s the joy week of this Advent series; this has always been my favorite – the week of the pink candle! Like pink, joy is one of my favorite things. I believe we each have an unlimited capacity for joy in our lives, but that we’re rarely using even a fraction of it. So this […]
Reclaiming Advent: Transformative Love
Last week I was determined to come up with some profound answers to the questions on hope and expectation, and share them with you today. It didn’t happen. My own week of living in the questions was beautiful, and I finally realized that nothing I can say would be any more interesting than whatever experiences […]
