Stepping into the Circle

"Money and real estate occupy the body, but all the heart wants is expanding friendship." -- Rumi Rev. Patrick asks, "Are we a good friend to ourselves, or are we hard on ourselves?" We often find ways to punish ourselves if that's what we think we deserve; we sabotage ourselves because we think we need to be punished. We live out the stories we tell ourselves. Why not instead give ourselves some slack, and love ourselves? Step into the circle, the attitude of ease and abundance. Our task this week is to check in with ourselves three times a day, and release our old stories and tension.
