I’m still basking in the glow of my favourite service of the year, our annual Holiday Season service, Celebration of Light… Lite!

“Welcome Christmas while we stand, heart to heart, and hand in hand!” — Dr. Seuss

Kenn and I are back in the world after being quarantined following our return to Canada from Egypt.

As a transdenominational teaching, outside of the traditional expression of Christianity, do you wonder how to make sense of Christ-mass?

As most of you know, I’m back from Egypt and I can’t say how amazing my whole experience was — in so many ways.

What you have already brought into your life — by your choosing of it — is as a result of doing what you have always done.

What an unusual time this is for those in British Columbia. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had never heard of the “atmospheric river”.

“Thank you.” Two very simple, single-syllable words. Yet they may be the most powerful words in the English language.

Do you know who is definitely having a happy Monday? Dr. Deborah. She is away on a long overdue vacation in Egypt.

“If an egg is broken by outside force, LIFE ENDS. If broken by inside force, LIFE BEGINS. Great things always begin from inside.”

One of the things I love about my Happy Mondays is that I write them in real time on Monday mornings. They are a wonderful tool for me.

We can make a conscious decision to look beyond the surface to see the beauty of all.

As many of you know, Kenn and I leave for a trip to Egypt on Friday. We’re very excited!

The SOM theme for November is “Breathe in the View”. In celebration of reaching our summit, we appreciate our view from a higher plane.

… and whoosh, it was November! Time has certainly taken on a life and a feeling of its own. I’m not sure if that feels true for everyone…

What are you afraid of? Dying? Being broke? Afraid for your LOVED ones? Let’s unravel the Truth behind our fears together!

What a delight it was to gather with our fellow community members and friends yesterday to begin a series of visioning sessions.

“To love God and to love our neighbour as ourselves means to see God in everything and to include everyone in one divine unity.”

I love looking for the greater view, and taking a minute to look out and look up!

“In the flow of love, you will tend to see and respond to the divinity in all persons.” — Eric Butterworth
