In honor of Women's History Month, we will feature blessings written by women for the month of March! This week's blessing comes from writer Cole Arthur Riley, the creator behind the Instagram account "Black Liturgies". This blessing was not specifically written for women, but highlights some of the challenges women face (Black women in particular) of being trained to diminish themselves in order to fit in. Full blessing below:

Check out our latest blog post from chaplain resident Deborah Metcalf! She writes, "Practicing Buddhism reminded me that I am not alone, that spiritual practices are important, and that returning to one's roots can be healing and transformative."

The Jewish holiday Purim began at sundown on Thursday and lasts through sundown today! Purim recounts the story of the Book of Esther, in which Esther (with the help of her cousin Mordecai) saves the Jewish community in the Persian empire from a threatened massacre. Purim is a joyous celebration involving a lively reading of the Book of Esther, giving money to the poor, gifting food to friends, and a festive feast! Purim is a celebratory affirmation of Jewish survival through dangerous times and of Jewish identity and community.

If you feel that you don't have time in your day to meditate, try this daily activity meditation! Simply slow down your daily activities to half your usual speed and attempt to stay present to the activity, instead of letting your mind wander freely. This can be done whilst shopping, showering, eating or cleaning, or any chore. Try to let go of the need to complete the task, and focus on how your body feels in the moment. Slow your breathing and enjoy the slower pace.
