March, 2024

I recently received this little book titled “Holy Moments: A Handbook for the Rest of Your Life.” I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little book so much, I contacted them and got 30 more copies of it to put out in the world. One of the ministries I serve up in Michigan got 80 copies of the book and gave them out to the congregation there too. You too can get the book and GIVE away the book for Free, or essentially Free, through this website:  https://holymomentsbook.com/products/free-6-pack

I have been so inspired and RE energized, RE newed, RE juvenated, RE membered, RE stored, RE wired, RE balanced, RE awakened, RE hope-filled, RE committed, RE created, and RE salvationed through my use of this material.  I will be using it for the Tuesday night 6 pm CENTRAL time and 7 pm EASTERN time classes during March.  Register through the link below to join in and please invite others:

"Any moment can be made holy."


— Martha Creek 

A few of the tenets of the book include:  You have so much more to offer. You know it. You have sensed it for some time now. This sacred truth has been bubbling up in your soul. But you have never known quite what to do about it. All that is about to change. Some ideas are so powerful that simply becoming aware of them, changes our lives forever. Holy Moments is such an idea. It is profoundly simple, astonishingly practical, and once you discover it, your life will finally make sense. It’s time to let Holy Moments show you what is possible. It’s time to explore your soul potential. 

This is also my direct experience. I have known it. Yes. I have sensed it. Yes. It bubbles up in my soul. Yes. Sometimes, I don’t know what to do with it AND at times I know clearly what to do with it. YES. Astonishingly practical. YES.

What I am most moved by is the idea/potential of Spiritual Multiplication. You’ll have to join me in class or read the material to see what it means. 

As I contemplate what I can do to create more “Holy Moments,” I am more aware, devoted, and radically activated to live it out. 

I was moved by the following reflections recently, on the heels of my birthday bounty:



The brilliant Anthony Hopkins and his free interpretation of Mario de Andrade’s poem:

 

“I know that I have less to live than I have lived.


I feel like a child who was given a box of chocolates. He enjoys eating them, and when he sees that there is not much left, he starts to eat them with a special taste.


I have no time for endless lectures on public laws — nothing will change. And there is no desire to argue with fools who do not act according to their age.

 

And there's no time to battle the gray.

 

I don't attend meetings where egos are inflated.

 

I simply can't stand manipulators.


I am disturbed by envious people who try to vilify the most capable to grab their positions, talents, and achievements.


I have too little time to discuss headlines — my soul is in a hurry.


Too few candies left in the box.


I'm interested in human people.

 

People who laugh at their mistakes are those who are successful.

 

People who understand their calling and don't hide from responsibility.

 

People who defend human dignity and want to be on the side of truth, justice, righteousness.

 

This is what living is for.


I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch the hearts of others.

 

Who, through the blows of fate, was able to rise and maintain the softness of the soul.


Yes, I hustle, I hustle to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.

 

I'll eat all the candy I have left — they'll taste better than the ones I already ate.


My goal is to reach the end in harmony with myself, my loved ones, and my conscience. I will do my part in all matters.


I thought I had two lives, but it turned out to be only one, and it needs to be lived with dignity.”


Living in harmony with myself is a full-time job and one that again and again, I seek to renew its critical nature. Join me, if it interests you.

Poetry of the Month



Wild Geese 

— by Mary Oliver



You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile the world goes on.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

are moving across the landscapes,

over the prairies and the deep trees,

the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things. 




Thank you sincerely for the Holy Moment of you, each of you, and the heartstring we share. 


Love and beyond,

Listening:


Dan Harris: “10% Happier” (Revised Edition) Audible Audiobook https://www.amazon.com/10%25-Happier-Dan-Harris-audiobook/dp/B00I8NLVFY




Watching: Movies


Movie: The Longest Ride (love story of the truest kind) Surprise treat includes Alan Alda.

Uplifts my fantasy about “good guys actually win” and the payoff goes to the honest.



Movie: Passing takes a nuanced look at two women’s navigation of race in a society of demands. Great risk, great sacrifice, and really close to home for me in what is in our bones and blood.
