Today, Shalom!

Welcome to Today Shalom: Choosing Peace One Day at a Time!

We live in anxious times. Our news feeds overflow with conflict, our communities feel fractured, and many of us carry private burdens that weigh heavily on our hearts. In response to this age of anxiety, you might have seen the humorous meme "Not today, Satan!" – a defiant stance against whatever challenges threaten our wellbeing.

But what if we moved beyond resistance to embrace something more transformative? What if, instead of just saying no to chaos, we made a daily choice for peace?

That's the heart behind Today Shalom. Each day, we'll explore ancient wisdom from the Psalms and other timeless teachers that speaks to our modern search for peace. Not mere absence of conflict, but shalom – that rich Hebrew concept of wholeness, wellbeing, and flourishing that ripples from our inner lives out into our relationships and communities.

We can't change yesterday. We don't know what tomorrow brings. But today – this moment, this breath – we can choose peace. We can center ourselves in stillness, extend grace in our relationships, and work for healing in our corner of the world.

Starting tomorrow, you'll find a fresh reflection here each morning. Some days we'll focus on finding personal calm amid life's storms. Other days we'll explore how peace flows into our families, workplaces, and communities. Always, we'll be asking: How can we choose shalom today?

Join us on this journey of choosing peace one day at a time. Subscribe free to receive each morning's reflection in your inbox, or bookmark this page and make it part of your daily rhythm. Together, let's discover what happens when we say, "Today, shalom!"

Welcome to the journey.   -Chuck
