Self-care seems to be a major priority in our culture these days, and that’s probably because we are collectively stressed the BLEEP out.

I talk about the “walking faithless” a fair amount, and in some ways it is a nod to my love for zombie movies. Most of us with trauma feel a bit like zombies a lot of the time.

If you’re going to pray for an enemy, pray for the enemy within first. Pray to God (or Good) for peace, comfort, compassion for yourself, and see what happens.

The first war to win is the war within. 

Now, I genuinely feel like I can weather any storm, that I am due all good things in the human experience, and that I am worthy of and can experience love in all the ways it is offered.

I’m not sure what to make of it other than to say God is Good.

All the gurus of spirituality or self-help say this about the spiritual plane:

Do less, get more.

Pray more, do less, get more.

Have faith, let go, get more.

These are simple equations that none of us seem to trust.
