To not waiting…

To inspiring one another 

To each reaching their fullest

To living in the present moment

To feeling all the feelings

To speaking truth 

To sharing your hurts 

To leave it on the table 

To forgive

To cherishing this day

To not waiting until it’s the end.

Piercing blows

Out of deep heartache can come immense treasures - love boundless - until it hurts. My parents met in high school. They fell in love. They argued as young people without a full sense of self and awareness of others do.  My father had an affair. There was turmoil. My mom fell for someone else.  My youngest two brothers were born.  Out of heartache, treasures.

Privileged Few or the should be's

My blog has been about recognizing my personal search and exploration of life. I've been on this current journey for the last 5 weeks. It's the longest one I've ever taken that did not involve school. In it, I have tried to live and experience life as it is not for a foreign traveler but for the authentic local experience.

Proud God fearing family doc

I wonder why saying these two things out loud would be difficult - ask me what I do for work and I have my silent reservations about telling people - is it out of humility or perhaps a fear of not being good enough? And as a woman? Gosh even that I don’t feel half the time, loving my childish ways, what does it mean to be a woman? Have I not seen and experienced enough role models in my life to properly consider myself one? Then there is God- perhaps it’s knowing that I am truly not good enough but isn’t that where God does his thing and I can say with great hope that I believe??? Do I still have doubts? Can I say by my character and my fruits that I am a daughter of Christ?! Do I fear the repercussions of the world in standing in my belief but only loosely can I connect all that I may know in my heart and mind. Whatever it is, sometimes I am confident enough to say these things and pray that I can be as competent. This is a photo of me outside the Blue Lagoon in Iceland with my Advent
