A Ministry of Love on the Dance Floor
June 8, 2026

Welcome to my ministry of love


What you need?


I got, I got, I got, I got


Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love – Arielle Free, Feels so Good

This weekend, Theresa and I, the founders of Sacred Space 69, found ourselves in the crowd during a set by Arielle Free—an experience that felt suspended somewhere between sound, movement, and the shared energy of the dance floor. In that space, I found myself reflecting on a simple yet profound question: what does love actually feel like?


It wasn’t sparked by a conversation or a workshop. It came through the music.


As Arielle Free’s track Feels So Good filled the room and the crowd moved as one, a lyric cut through in a new way:


"Welcome to my ministry of love."


On the surface, the song carries a gospel-infused message of freedom, joy, and spiritual connection. But in that moment—surrounded by a community gathered in celebration—it felt like something else entirely. It felt like an invitation.


An invitation to return inward.


We often talk about love in relation to others: romance, connection, attachment, and loss. We spend years searching for it, holding onto it, losing it, and trying to find it again. In doing so, it’s easy to forget that the longest, most constant relationship we will ever have is the one we hold with ourselves. 


Over time, self-love reveals itself not as perfection or constant confidence, but as acceptance. It is the practice of showing up fully—even on the days that feel uncertain or heavy. It is learning to hold yourself with the same care you offer others. It is creating an internal space where compassion can actually exist.


That’s why another line from the song lingered long after the moment passed: 


"So glad that the Lord has set me free."


Whether read spiritually or symbolically, it speaks to liberation. The release of old narratives. The loosening of expectations. The quiet decision to no longer measure worth through external validation. 


In many ways, Sacred Space 69 embodies that feeling of freedom.


It is a space where people don’t gather to perform versions of themselves, but to experience something more honest. Where music is not just entertainment, but a connection. Where the dance floor becomes a place of release, and sometimes even healing. Where community holds space for people to rediscover who they are beneath everything they carry.


Watching Arielle Free this weekend was a reminder that love is not always something we seek outwardly. Sometimes it is something we remember. It appears in the pause between beats. In moments of presence. In the courage it takes to soften instead of harden. In the choice to meet yourself with kindness, even when the world leans toward criticism. 


And sometimes, it arrives unexpectedly—through a song that makes you stop for a moment, breathe, and simply feel.


As the night came to a close and the energy of the festival lingered in the air, that feeling stayed with me. 


Not the search for love.


But remembering it.


And in its simplest form, it truly felt so good.

This year's Nurses Week theme — The Power of Nurses — could not be more fitting. Every year from May 6–12, the world pauses to recognize the men and women who show up tirelessly, compassionately, and often invisibly to hold space for those in their most vulnerable moments. But 2026 asks us to go further than gratitude. It asks us to truly reckon with the power nurses carry — the power to heal, to witness, to transform lives at their most fragile.More

April 25, 2026 marked the beginning of Uranus’ sustained transit through Gemini, a cycle that astrologers associate with major shifts in communication, technology, learning, and how people connect. Uranus represents disruption, innovation, and sudden change. Gemini rules information, language, media, and networks. Together, this transit is often described as a period of unexpected shifts in communication and ideas—a time when the way we think, talk, and share information changes quickly and unexpectedly. On a broader level, this era is linked to rapid advancements in technology, especially in AI, media, and digital communication, along with faster information cycles and new ways of learning and interacting.More
