Or have we misunderstood something?We’ll talk about:• Why loving yourself is scriptural• How creativity revives your spirit• Simplifying your life without guilt• Resting like God rests• The power of friendship• Why daily time with God is the true source of renewalI also share a sacred experience I recently had in the temple that changed how I see myself.
