Rejoice

Sunday came and went and renewed me..as it has done for the past several months. Previously, Sunday had been a day of dread, a day of guilt, a day that made me tired. Now it has become, for me, my favorite time. It is when I connect with people who lift me up, when I feel the Presence of the Divine..and in the process we lift the world up.


In this spiritual community I have found an openness and an acceptance that I had never experienced. There is no fear of who I am or where Ive been. We are all bound together, and in this place where voices sing, bodies dance and hands are clasped together, I have found a home.


When I washed up on the shores of this incredible place nestled in the mountains outside of Denver, I was amazed to realize that people like these were really here..they do exist! As I went about the business of making new friends, I have found that the people I am drawn to are the people I spend my Sundays with. They are laughter and joy and they celebrate life in the way we were intended to. After hours in this haven, I welcome the rest of my Sunday energized and ready to make a difference. 


A couple quotes that led me to write todays post are written below..how true they are...


"Freedom lies in separating yourself from your story." Deepak Chopra


"You repossess your life when you laugh at the things that try to destroy you." Toni Morrison


AND..one of my all time favorites:


"Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize that there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." Lao-tzu


I am blessed..
