According to author John O'Donohue, a soul friend offers another the gift of encouragement. "When someone encourages you," he wrote, "that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own." In a similar vein, Jim Rohn wrote, "Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea." Our goal here in this section of our new site is to provide a space where we can help each other across new thresholds in our spiritual lives by exchanging ideas and encouragement.
 

We'll start by sharing this prayer from Teresa of Avila:

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
