Your Kindness is Never Small
Sometimes when I think about how big the world is and how many people are in it, and then how big the universe is and how much left there is to discover, I feel very small. I am just one person, in one place on one planet, in one galaxy in the universe. And when… Continue reading

Take a Nap on the Floor
Yesterday, as I drove home from church, I began to map out the rest of my Sunday in my head. It was 11:45 a.m. and I was trying to plan my day out by the hour. I thought about going for a walk, or even a run. I wanted to get some chores done, to… Continue reading

Let’s Have a Funeral
I think it’s natural to do a lot of reflecting on your younger self. To try and connect to the person you were as a kid, as an adolescent, as a young adult, etc. It’s always interesting to recall the things you hoped for and dreamed about, and to notice the differences in what you… Continue reading

A Repost for My Fellow Tough Eggs
I don’t have a new post for this week. But I have recently been reading Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking, and so this post from a few years back has been on my mind. Re-reading it was a good reminder that being an introvert does not mean you… Continue reading

A Small Prayer for You in the (Not So) New Year
We are ten days into this new year, which is about the time when the “new” starts to wear off. We are back into our routines, back into the stress the holidays (ideally) took us away from, back into the hustle, bustle, and (at times) chaos. For some of us, we might even already feel… Continue reading

I Love Me (Part 3)
A few years ago, I was inspired by a fellow blogger to start a series that encourages friends and family to write down things they love about themselves. We often find it too easy to criticize or put ourselves down, whether it be in an attempt to be funny or relatable, or as a side… Continue reading

Trust that the Ground is There
There have been a couple blog posts in the past where I mentioned not only my love for yoga, but especially Yoga with Adriene hosted by Adriene Mishler on both YouTube and her website Find What Feels Good—both of which I would recommend. In taking her classes for the last year and a half or… Continue reading

Look for the Happy Middles
The other day I was listening to a podcast that discussed the cliché: happiness is a journey, not a destination. It got me thinking about movies and books and their tendency to have “happy endings”—a direct contradiction of this cliché. Oftentimes we are given a main character, and a single obstacle, choice, or relationship that… Continue reading

Peanut Butter: What I Know For Sure
A while back I heard Oprah say that the most important question she’s ever been asked is “what do you know for sure?” She wrote an entire book about the question and of the lessons she holds dear, and even though I haven’t read it, I have felt this question on my heart lately. It… Continue reading

Believe in the Slow Magic
At the beginning of this year, I saw a newsletter from Hannah Brencher that introduced 2021 as “the year of slow magic.” I was immediately drawn to the term “slow magic”, loving the idea that we are consistently in the midst of a slow but meaningful build up to something great. Something that is better… Continue reading
