Join us today as we talk about how we can allow ourselves the permission to rest, the importance of it and how we can't afford to not take a break.  Also, Jenna leads us through a guided meditation.  Hope this finds you at rest and grants you some peace.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:2

The Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will give rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

Join us today as we have a conversation about how shame keeps us isolated from others and how vulnerability can be the remedy for that.  We share stories where we have felt both these things in our lives.  Be kind with each other.  It is a hard thing that we do, this thing called life.

Today we discuss the happenings in the capital from this week.  It has been a scary and an emotionally draining week and it needs to be articulated.  Even if the only thing we can say is "WTF".   Through this discussion we hope that it will give you a voice to be able to discuss your own feelings about what's going on with your inner circle.   This is our first step, what is going to be your second?
