We are a people of hope. As Christians, Christmas of course is the guiding light of our liturgical year. But what truly puts the wind in our sails is Easter. It is the season where we celebrate the victory of life over death, goodness over hatred, and hope over despair. It is that hope of Easter that serves as a constant source of inspiration, resilience, and purpose throughout the entire year.

Success is Closer Than You Think
12/04/2023
“Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.” It's a cautionary phrase we find on our side-view mirrors, reminding us that our perception can sometimes play tricks on us. We often set deadlines for ourselves, and the pressure to achieve milestones by a certain age can feel overwhelming. We carefully lay out our plans and then life does what life does and shakes things up, throwing us unexpected curves. We navigate through time, constantly shifting the goalpost - aiming for next week, next month, Monday (oh Monday, Monday…) wondering if our goals might always be distant specks on the horizon. Life’s rhythm doesn't always align with the timelines we set for ourselves. Careers, relationships, personal growth — it all unfolds at its own pace, and it's a marathon, not a sprint. As we focus our sights, we might be surprised to find that the dreams we thought were so distant are actually much closer than we think.
