Update April 2026: This year my daily practice is working through the Workbook once again. Here is a summary of my studies with ACIM over the years:

January 2026, began daily practice with the Workbook each day. Also, continued with my Tuesday study group which discusses the Text (365 day practice), the Workbook, and the Manual for Teachers. The first week of January I also began leading a study group focused upon the Workbook.

In 2025, I studied the CE version of the Text following the 365 day program created by the Circle of Atonement. (I joined this community in late 2024.) At the end of 2025, I completed the Circle’s ‘Study Group Leader Training’ with certification. This was also my first year with my Tuesday study group reviewing the CE version of the Text, the Workbook lessons, and the Manual for Teacher chapters. (Sorry that my journal notes got slim in Nov. & Dec. 2025, I was moving house. I feel proud to have kept up with my daily practice the best way I could.)

From January 2022 to December 2024, my daily practice was the FIP version of the Workbook. I journaled each day and was part of the Everyday Miracles community with Robert and Holly Holden.
