Mary Oliver reminds us that “joy was not made to be a crumb”. May you continue to live into the joy of the Resurrection far beyond Easter Sunday. A blessing from Kayla Craig:

The whole long, bright, alleluia-soaked season that’s too big for a single Sunday is yours for the taking.

May you catch joy off guard this week in a sunrise you didn’t plan for, in your child’s laughter bubbling up, in a stranger’s unexpected kindness, in the stubborn way lillies keep bursting forth from the dirt.

May you give yourself permission to play, to rest, to feast, and to feel life fully.

May resurrection joy find you again and again as you live into the hope of Easter so that you might live it out more fully.

On this Holy Saturday, the darkest day of the Christian year, may you practice stillness, silence, a space to witness the grief and pain of yourself and of others and an awareness of the harm we are capable of inflicting on one another. The acknowledgement matters. Holding space matters. Don’t move too quickly through the “in-between”.

It’s the day in between.
no crowd,
no shouting,
no movement of the story
we can follow.

Just stillness.

The kind that settles heavy,
the kind that asks us to sit
without answers,
without resolution,
without anything to hold onto
except what we remember.

Yesterday was loud with grief.
Tomorrow will break open with something new.
but today
it is quiet.

And we don’t always know
what to do with that.
because this is the space
where prayers feel unanswered,
where the words fall flat,
where heaven seems closed
and nothing shifts.

The God who is present
feels hidden.

And we wonder
if we imagined it all,
if the hope we carried
has slipped somewhere
we can’t reach it.

This is the day
we don’t often name.

The waiting day.
The unsure day.
The day where faith
doesn’t feel strong
or certain
or even particularly alive.

But this is where we find ourselves.
in the in-between.
not at the beginning,
not at the ending,
but in the place
where nothing seems to be happening
and everything still matters.

The silence isn’t absence.

It just feels like it.

Because the God who is faithful
doesn’t leave
when the noise fades,
doesn’t disappear
when we can’t feel Him close.

He’s here
in the stillness,
in the waiting,
in the slow turning
we can’t yet see.

So we stay.
not with certainty,
not with clear sight,
but with a quiet holding on,
trusting
that this silence
isn’t the end of the story,
just the place
where it pauses
before life
begins to rise.

Still
A Blessing for Good Friday

This day
let all stand still
in silence,
in sorrow.

Sun and moon
be still.

Earth
be still.

Still
the waters.

Still
the wind.

Let the ground
gape in stunned
lamentation.

Let it weep
as it receives
what it thinks
it will not
give up.

Let it groan
as it gathers
the One
who was thought
forever stilled.

Time
be still.

Watch
and wait.

Still.

For Christians around the world, today is Maundy Thursday (mandate Thursday) when Christ gave his final "mandate" or commandment. Let us not be naive, He knew what was ahead. Every detail. And yet, he still chose love, welcome, service, humility, fellowship and grace upon grace. So what was the final commandment he left all of us with? "So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." (John 13: 34-35) And his actions securely aligned with his words. He washed the feet of the one who set betrayal in motion just as he washed the feet of his most beloved. He made room at the table for ALL, those who were secure in their belief, those who doubted, those who didn't understand at all, those who would betray. ALL WERE WELCOME. How are we doing with welcoming, loving and serving? In our sessions where clients want the Christian faith to be present, this is one area we explore as it shows up in all of our relationships. One of the exercises we offer as an invitation for self examination is to utilize I Cor 13: 4-7. This is our "instruction manual" for loving one another. If you put your name in each blank, what are your strengths and where are the opportunities for you to invite in the Spirit to show you ways to grow in grace for yourself and others? Maybe Holy Week is a great time to begin to be curious.

4 ______________ is patient, ____________ is kind. ___________does not envy, ____________ does not boast, _____________is not proud. 5 _______________does not dishonor others, _____________is not self-seeking, _______________ is not easily angered, ______________keeps no record of wrongs. 6 _______________does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 _______________always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
I Corinthians 13: 4-7

As Lent leads us in a slow march toward Holy Week, I’m reminded that doubt, pain and raw honesty is holy.

Jesus himself “groaned out of the depths,” crying out, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” (Matthew 27:46)

If Jesus, who himself was fully God, felt this deep pain—why do we so often think that a faithful life is an anesthetized one?

Love this reminder from

Whew…so good! We talk often in our sessions about all the types of “bypassing” pain such as spiritual bypassing or cognitive bypassing. If you know you are using these behaviors to avoid the necessary action to move towards health and healing we’d love to journey with you. We all have “stinky” parts of life.

and I were blessed beyond measure to be invited back to facilitate a workshop about navigating traumatic loss and the messy space of faith and suffering. To all of you brave, strong, courageous mommas who attended the Haven of Hope retreat, thank you for sharing your weekend with us 💕

It’s Brain Awareness Week 🧠. We love neuroscience at our practice which is one of the reasons we adopt a holistic approach to our therapeutic care. Mental health IS physical health and we are going to support you in caring for yourself in multiple realms. Here are a few interesting nuggets about your noggin…

Brains are tough
Your brain can survive for five to six minutes without any oxygen!

Brains are mostly fat
The brain is one of the fattiest organs in the body, comprising 60% fat. Are you eating enough healthy fats to support your brain?

Drink water to save the brain
Our brain is 73% water, and it only takes 2% dehydration to affect your memory and other cognitive skills. Are you consistently drinking enough water?

We’d love to walk with you on your journey towards a therapeutic lifestyle change!
