Dear Friends and Family,

Sunday is always a special day for me. Just like me, I suspect that it is a good day for many of us. A connection is happening all the time. And when we connect with ourselves, with Spirit, or with another, it is all the same connection. It’s the movement of the Divine within us, around us, and between us. Creating a connection with another also creates a connection to Spirit and allows for a deeper connection within ourselves.

I know that some of you liked the exercise we did when I asked you to imagine a person you wished to build compassion with. Someone with whom you may have a difficult time with. Below is the “Just Like Me” mantra:

Just like me, you are seeking some happiness in your life.
Just like me, you are trying to avoid suffering in your life.
Just like me, you have known sadness.
Just like me, you want to be loved.
Just like me, you were once an innocent child.
Just like me, you are a spirit on a journey.

Let’s get connected and stay connected.

Namastè,
Rev. Cheryl
