As someone who has just spent what seems like weeks shopping, standing in queues and generally wishing that it wasn't Xmas - what a wonderful amazing wake up call. Thank you. Christmas Eve just got a little more mellow for me!

Love this as well. Like the idea of rebirth and the inner child. Very powerful. Thanks for passing it on:) Happy Holidays!

If you get a chance, take a look at her book of meditations - Becoming Fully Human: The Greatest Glory of God. She is an amazing woman and one I would surely like to me.
It is wonderful that, even tho most of us do not know each other, we can share a moment of connection drawn together by the wise words of Sister Joan Chittister.

This is exactly what I needed to read/see/hear today. Perfect (if not serendipitous) timing! Thank you.

What a fantastic passage, Ali - thank you for sharing it!! I'm going to pass it along as well!
