God is in the Body.
The title of today’s sermon is from a bit of today’s Gospel from John - “Joy Made Complete in Themselves”
February is Self Love Month (aka Be Your Own Valentine)
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about being a new mom and trying to figure out how to carve some space out for exercise. (See "You're Worth It" here.) It reminded me of a time that carving out ANY TIME for self-care seemed impossible.
Self Kindness Experiment
I watched a movie last week called “Hungry for Change” – it’s really interesting and has a lot of great information in it if you have time. There was a woman in it named Dr. Christiane Northrup and she said something that really, really got me.
It's all going south.
I like it when three completely different things present themselves to you as gifts from the Universe and they all illustrate the same thing in different ways.
Negative Self Talk
Today my daughter said something like, “ACK I almost forgot my water bottle!” then she whacked her head and then said, “that would have been dumb of me.” Quicker than quick, my husband says to her, “Be careful with that kind of talk Ava.” They proceeded to have a discussion about self talk and how powerful it is.
