ALIGNMENT OVER APPROVAL

There comes a point in life when clarity matters more than approval.

Not everyone will understand your calling.
Not everyone will see your vision.
And that’s okay.

Your responsibility is not to be explained —
it is to be aligned.

When you understand yourself deeply, you move differently.
You decide differently.
You lead differently.

Today, choose self-awareness over validation.
Choose clarity over comparison.
Choose alignment over applause.

If this resonates with you, drop a 💛 in the comments.

SILENCING THE NOISE, TRUSTING THE SOUL

“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” — Caroline Myss

In a world that constantly pulls at our attention, healing doesn’t begin outside of us — it begins within.

Our soul is not confused. It is not frantic. It is not overwhelmed.
It is steady. It is wise. It is patient.

But the mind… the mind can be loud.

Today, I invite you to pause.
Breathe deeply.
Turn down the noise.

When we quiet the mind, we make space to hear the wisdom that has always been there.

What helps you silence your mind and reconnect with your center?

PERMISSION TO PAUSE

Sometimes we forget that rest is not weakness — it is wisdom. When we unplug from the noise, the pressure, and the constant need to produce, we allow our nervous system to reset and our spirit to breathe again.

As Anne Lamott reminds us, stepping away for a few minutes can restore clarity, creativity, and strength. Rest is not quitting. It is recalibrating.

Permission to pause is often the doorway to renewal.

Inspirational Moments With Joseph Long

SACRED HUMILITY. DIVINE CALLING.

Though we are physically made from the dust.
We also carry the Christ within us.

Ash Wednesday is not about shame —
it’s about sacred awareness.

We are humble.
And we are called.

Today, pause and ask yourself:

✨ Where is God refining me?
✨ Where is God reminding me who I am?

Drop one word in the comments that describes what this season means to you.

Let’s walk this Lenten journey consciously.
Let’s honor both the dust and the divine.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY

Communication is the antidote to prejudice and division; fostering understanding and harmony where fear once resided.

PRAYER FOR MINNEAPOLIS AND EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD

Omnipresence, we lift up Minneapolis, praying for peace to settle over its streets, bringing healing to the wounded, comfort to the grieving, and unity where there is division. Grant wisdom and discernment to our leaders and law enforcement, guiding them to act with justice and compassion. Protect all citizens, foster safety in every neighborhood, and inspire hearts to turn from violence toward understanding, so that truth, healing, and true justice may prevail, building a city of hope and dignity for all. Amen.
