The Power of Being Okay

In the midst of the busyness and uncertainty of December, we often question if everything will be okay. The podcast reflects on the childlike question of being okay and proposes the revolutionary idea of embracing okayness just for now. It encourages listeners to find solace in the present moment and recognize that even in the waiting and listening, we are okay. The longer we pause, the more we realize our inherent okayness.

Reflecting on Advent and the Power of Waiting

Today, I need to slow down for just a few minutes to take a breath, to take a beat here in the middle of December. And so I want to offer you a four minute and thirty-eight second meditation for being okay. It's from one of the Advent collections in The Quiet Collection app called Compassion. It's track eight, named simply Okay. It's one of the simpler ones, but it's one I personally return to over and over again. Listen in.
