In this episode I share our holiday message of peace. I talk about changing perspective on the holidays to discover the meaning of hope and love during this time of the year. This is not a rant against commercialism, it's a reflection on finding what is truly important to each of us in life. I share a brief story about St. Francis of Assisi and his response to the question of gathering material goods. We may not live in extreme poverty as he did, but his message rings true today. As a free gift to all of our listeners, check out my booklet "A Spiritual Journey of Christmas".From all of us at Lifesjourney, we wish you a peace-filled holiday season! - Chris #holidaymessage #messageofpeace #peace #holidays #Christmas #mindfulness #declutter #simplelife Learn more about your ad choices.
