Show Notes

Rev. Patrick guides us in a continued exploration of Pema Chodron's book When Things Fall Apart. When life is tough and we get down on ourselves and feel like giving up, the best thing we can do is stay in the present, accept our situation, and know that the best is for us. We may feel like quitting, but we need to forgive and be kind to ourselves and just keep trying.

When we step out of the drama of our situation and become less attached to it and its outcome, we are able to relax in the present moment. We can then make better choices and not let fear hold us in its grip. Let's watch our conversation; we are having conversations all the time, so let's keep them in heaven!
