I was so thrilled (and at first confused!) to see the Monday Manna in the Blue Room. I adore Arianne's words and art!
What a simple but powerful phrase - "it's just like this" it is equally grounding/level setting but also hopeful. It reminds me of a phrase I hear patients say over and over in the hospital "it is what it is" which I first thought was mere resignation until I Sat with more people and heard their acceptance in it.
Also I'd not yet heard of the Welcoming Prayer, thanks for the introduction. I read it this morning as I welcome a new day in the previous time before my kiddos are up!
Maryann, thank you for introducing us to Monday Manna! I loved the art, the prayers and her words. Especially in this political climate, the letting go and reminder to trust God rather than think it’s our situation to fix was helpful.
Isn't she a wonder? I realized I got the link wrong to her Substack... if you view my post again on the web (not in email) I have corrected it, for anyone who'd like to subscribe.
Good luck on your book writing MaryAnn.

Yes, she shared so much good stuff here! Thanks for the good wishes!

Yes, that message is much needed... by me!
