My word for 2014 is Accept.  

Accept is one of those words that often gets a bad rap.  Sometimes it’s confused with giving-up.  On the contrary, accepting is about choice and power. It’s about recognizing what you can and can’t control and taking the next.right.step for yourself.

When life isn’t going as you’d prefer, accept that you can handle it.  You really can. Accept that you can simply say,”Bring it on! Here I am.  Let it be. I accept!”

So for this year of Sundays I’ll be posting different renditions of the song Let it Be.  I invite you to join in the fun by sending me your favorite covers of this great song to piergazer (at) gmail.com.  THANKS to all of you who are joining in the Let it Be Fun.

I’m stepping out of the norm a bit this week.  After spending almost two weeks at Trinity Center – the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina’s camp, conference and retreat center – well, I was inspired.  I took most of these images with my iPhone.  The others are borrowed from Trinity Center’s website.

If you, your family, church/spiritual family,  friends,  organization or colleagues are looking for That Perfect Place to gather or retreat – I hope you’ll consider Trinity Center.  I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

This place and the people there can absolutely help you Let it Be.
