In this episode of Holy Shenanigans, Tara reflects on finding the sacred in daily life. Using the biblical story from Mark 4 where Jesus calms a storm, Tara discusses the metaphorical storms of life and how we can navigate them. She shares her experiences and emphasizes the importance of a 'rule of life'—a personal guide crafted through prayer and discernment. Tara recounts her baccalaureate address for Jamestown High School's Class of 2024, encouraging graduates to develop their own rules of life driven by love, intention, verve, and ease. She concludes with a poetic blessing that underscores resilience and gratitude amidst life’s challenges.
