SWB: Highlight and low lights

This past week Mary Lue and I have both been out of town on business trips. Sadly our trips did not bring us to the same city, if that were the case - we'd been jumping for joy to meet face to face! Apologies for being late in host posting, but with a few days away, there is always a great deal of catch up when coming home.

As I look over my past week, I begin thinking in terms of the hi-lights, or speakers,people, moments, that stood out, were especially encouraging, or the most thought provoking in one way or another. As for the specifics of all that, I'll save for my own SWB post.

No matter where you "traveled" this last week, what were the low-lights and high-lights? In this season that is getting darker and more chilly by each dawn, the light is something we all are drawn a little more to. What light was capturing your attention this week?

I hope you've had a great week - I've missed the SWB crew. Let's have a moment and hear what bread/light you are holding on to today.

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
