Breathe, my friends, breathe. Our Soul Matters theme this month is Embodying Resilience, following up on last month's Practicing Resistance. And we’ve had quite a month of resistance. I don’t need to tell you what you already know and have seen with your own eyes. The systems we relied on to follow the rule of law have broken down and communities are being intimidated and terrorized; there’s no other way to put it. People are afraid, but they are also practicing resistance ev

The New Year has arrived, and I think many of us are glad to wrap-up 2025. The anxiety and chaos that has become our daily bread in this country won’t stop because it’s a new year, of course, but the beginning of something always gives us a little boost of hope that change happens, no matter what. How it changes is largely up to us and how bad we want it. Ask 80% of people who made a resolution this week how they’re doing with that in March. 

What is hope? It is a hunch that the overwhelming brutality of facts that oppress and repress is not the last word. It is a suspicion that reality is more complex than realism wants us to believe and that the frontiers of the possible are not determined by the limits of the actual. -Rubem A. Alves

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. -Melody Beattie
