Summary
Our first Life Question comes from Melissa. She wants to know how to find a place of forgiveness with someone who continues to repeat the same hurtful behavior and keeps apologizing for it.
The next letter comes from Darren H. in New Jersey who works as a long-term substitute teacher in inner city public schools. He wants to know how to show up for his students with peace, calm, and joy, even amidst the chaos that sometimes erupts in his classroom.
Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation that acknowledges the God-presence within us.
