This blog began by presenting the daily workbook lesson from A Course in Miracles with a correlative passage from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, with my writing in between telling tales of how I use these ideas in daily life. In 2019, my format became more free form. What you find here are short dissertations on what I notice each day. Feel free to comment!

Outside Our Comfort Zones
I've been making it a point to hang out with people who are outside of my regular social circle. It’s easy to fall into the habit of establishing tribes who agree with our belief systems. We join churches because folks support us in our preconceived beliefs and further root us in those understandings. We may join a community choir for the love of singing, or a theater group to stretch our imagination. Many of the activities we participate in encourage our personal growth and foster new experiences; others may cause us to be more deeply set in our ways. I love to participate in pods which do neither. Finding a group of people whose beliefs and understandings are as vI’aried as our ages and clothing choices is a stimulating and freeing activity! This is one of the reasons I love a group of people who regularly play duplicate bridge in my area. My thoughts are stretched, challenged, and amused by these folks. Wishing everyone the openness and mental exercise this activity fosters!
“…sacrifice is nowhere and love is everywhere. For communication embraces everything, and in the peace it re-establishes, love comes of itself.” A Course in Miracles Chapter 15 XI:7
