Self-Compassion as a Spiritual Practice

In the days before pondering entered my life, rather than embracing my own weaknesses, I spent time covering them up with Performance, Perfectionism, and Perseverance.

There, they remained unexamined, shoved under the rug. I was much more comfortable and confident examining my To-Do List rather than my shortcomings.

Getting it Together

 

Who can believe that we are on the verge of turning the page on the month of January?  For some unknown reason, I normally think of January as my slow month. The month where I am going to get my life "together", purge my closets of unneeded items, and reflect on what is most important. For those of you with a scorecard- I accomplished 1 out of the 3, but only by accident.
