In his book “A Nation of Immigrants” John F Kennedy described the waves of immigrants that came to America in the first three centuries of our country’s history.

Immigration in the US is fraught with complexity and stories of colonization, courage and perseverance. This morning we will draw from history to provide a new perspective on the current immigration challenges.

Brené Brown says “Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.” Learning to trust yourself is one of the great kindnesses you can give yourself. It engenders deep knowing and confidence. Sharing your real self builds intimacy, kindness, and deep abiding love. It is the ultimate offering of trust to present yourself wholly real and vulnerable to another. Trusting yourself is the first step in learning to trust others.
