“It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol.” -Brene Brown
Say yes to rest today.
Before You’re Tired
Ease and Leisure
We were created not for labor, but for rest. For ease and leisure. To enjoy the wind in the trees, the smell of honeysuckle while sitting on the front porch. Taking in the beauty we didn’t have a hand in creating. -JeKaren Olaoya (CLF)
When have you stopped to experience life around you?
Rest
This month, we will explore rest. Rest as a spiritual gift. Rest as a divine right. Rest as something we need to approach with reverence. Rest as something we have been taught to avoid, even when we need it most.
What is your relationship with rest?
Grace
“You do not need to be already perfect—or even half-way—to belong in this circle where grace meets us where we are but does not leave us as it found us” -Gretchen Haley (inspired by Anne Lamott)
How have you experienced grace in community?
“No es necesario que ya seas perfecto, ni siquiera que estés a mitad de camino, para pertenecer a este círculo donde la gracia nos encuentra donde estamos pero no nos deja como nos encontró” -Gretchen Haley (inspirada en Anne Lamott)
¿Cómo has experimentado la gracia en comunidad?
