it’s a new day and the start of a new moon – awesome august – and the perfect moment to change things around… today as we honor this new beginning, let’s open our real eyes – our eyes of wonder and awe –  seeing everything as if for the first time and meander over to Mr Roger’s neighborhood for some of his lessons, lessons that so perfectly mirror the sage words of His Holiness…

may we take these words to heart as we saunter with our whole heart real-eye-sing the gift of presence…

1. It’s okay to feel whatever it is that we feel

2. But our feelings aren’t an excuse for bad behavior

3. Other people are different from us—and just as complex as we are

4. It’s our responsibility to care for the most vulnerable

5. We can work to make a difference right where we are

6. It’s important to make time to care for ourselves

7. We are neighbors

may we all be caring neighbors for each other…
