I have been a huge beneficiary of it and so I am deeply grateful to you. Your approach makes many of J-R\u2018s teachings and MSIA\u2018s teachings more accessible to me. I struggle to find the right words, but I guess I am easily uncomfortable with a certain type of \u201cchurchiness\u201c or cultishness, and you are to me, in a way, a cultural bridge. Your serenity, loving kindness, clarity, honesty and \u201cunadornedess\u201d make me feel safe and on solid ground.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/seedcard\">Seeding cards<\/a> are a great way to share your loving to family and friends who are going through challenges or could just use a boost of support for their dreams.\u00a0 Someone shared with us that her friends asked for seeding cards for their Christmas gifts this past year.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t checked out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/media\/videos\/\"><em>That Which Is<\/em><\/a> (TWI) yet, this new year may be the time to give yourself a treat.
