In the end it’s all about love. That’s what matters most; and that’s really all that matters. Love. Do you have it? Do you share it? If not, start right now. Give love, and you will receive it. And then? Give some more. In the end, and beginning, and everywhere in between. LOVE.

All Saints Day
Deep dive into spiritual practice? Not sure how deep, but yep, let’s go. These two most often come to mind when I think about saints: Ignatius of Loyola, and Francis of Assisi. They’re my two guys.

I wonder how to respond, cope, battle, persevere through these feelings; to not let them consume, devour, destroy; instead, to transcend. I’ve lived with these emotions the whole …

Love for Others…YES
From Francis yesterday: “Our love for others, for who they are, moves us to seek the best for their lives. Only by cultivating this way of relating to one another will we make possible a social friendship that excludes no one and a fraternity that is open to all. #FratelliTutti” And then today: “It is …
‘‘Tis the Season
‘Tis the Season, a playful way, to talk about a certain day, a certain way to be, to think, to be, most often ‘round Christmas we might hear it, say. But another time comes to mind, a thoughtful stint of when we might find, better insight as to how we might be, better for you, …
