May you be content with yourself just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

O God, we thank you for the fact that you have inspired men and women in all nations and in all cultures. We call you different names: some call you Allah; some call you Elohim; some call you Jehovah; some call you Brahma; some call you the Unmoved Mover. But we know that these are all names for one and the same God. Grant that we will follow you and become so committed to your way and your kingdom that we will be able to establish in our lives and in this world a brother and sisterhood, that we will be able to establish here a kingdom of understanding, where men and women will live together as brothers and sisters and respect the dignity and worth of every human being. In the name and spirit of Jesus. Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing

Love changes everything and everyone, and when we love, “love never lets us be the same.” With every thought and act of love we change ourselves and others.

As we learn from Jesus, love is a people thing. It’s personal, individual and unique. No one can do the work of love for me. There’s no app, website or program. We just have to do it. With each loving thought, word and deed, we bring about the Realm of God right here and right now. Sometimes it’s sweet and patient; sometimes it takes us out of our comfort zone, takes courage and can be exhausting.
