Adults see magic because they create it for the children who come into their lives.

A Note from Rev. Anne Abdy
June 19, 2025
The Spark and the Breath: Seeking Inspiration in Stillness
Lisa Richey's message at Holy Cross encouraged finding renewal in chaotic times through simple acts of creativity, like doing something new each week, as a way to reconnect with one's inner spark. Reflecting on this, Rev. Anne explores the dual meaning of “inspiration”—as both divine breath and creative energy—and invites others to consider how honoring that breath can lead us to deeper motivation, joy, and creative purpose.
