Evil Tongue

I find myself having difficulty loving people well--without getting too personal or ranty (yes this is a word, because I just made it up) I've been confronted with some interesting ideas lately--thanks God.  

First, I get this weekly e-mail from GOOP (a.k.a Gwyneth Paltrow, www.goop.com), which is kind of amazing.  I thought this was a cool article about gossip and talking evil about others--I don't agree with everything but there are some good thought provoking nuggets in here so I had to share.  I especially liked what Cynthia Bourgeault and the Zen Master had to say.   Read on.  http://www.goop.com/newsletter/30/

Also, I've been going through Romans and came across this verse 12:9-21, along the same thread. Things Lauren will be contemplating: how does God want me to love people?  how can I love people better?, how can I love people well?, how do I love the people I find difficult to love?

thoughts?
