In LIVING WITH GRACE I am thinking about the way we survive a day, cope with whatever life brings, and embrace the pleasure and joy present in ordinary moments. How do I transcend the challenges and difficulties of each day? How do I feel forgiveness, or courage, after a physical or emotional injury? How do I go on loving when I experience hurt and loss? How do I continue to hope in the midst of darkness and despair, personal and global? LIVING WITH GRACE is also about cherishing and embracing the goodness and realness of everyday joy and beauty, being aware of it, and grateful. It takes a lot of openness to let life with all its ups and downs into our wounded hearts, but love and kindness can be our best medicine, our most positive energy, our greatest transcending grace.
