We Are Gateway

Years ago, I took a humanitarian flight to a foreign country. I had a huge hockey bag jammed with stuff…it was oversized and overweight. They would not let it on the plane, and time was running out, so in desperation I transferred items to other bags in our group. The experience was stressful and worrisome, and made the flight feel uncertain. A few years later I had another flight to an event a few provinces away. Everything was provided – the only thing I needed was a change of clothes. There was no stress, worry or uncertainty – I just enjoyed the flight. The difference…was the baggage. We bring baggage with us into every part of our lives, and it can make a huge difference on our flight called life. This past year has increased the stress, uncertainty, worry – our baggage – whether through addictions, habits, trauma, or other realities of mental and emotional health. We are going to have an honest look at Baggage, and how we can learn to travel light!
