Afraid of the Quiet
Check out the previous posts on this topic! Begin with the introduction to the series. I am afraid of quiet moments. Just being honest. I am pretty sure I avoid them. In the quiet moments that are filled with actual quiet, when my brain is not trying to convince me that everything that is hard…

An adventure to pursue
Hide from edges. Ignore the gaps turn away and act like you’re just fine. You don’t need to grow. You’re just fine without a harvest. You don’t need to produce like others do. It’s fine for them – but you’re fine. Just fine. Even if I yell it – it’s no longer true. Somehow fine…

Identify the gaps: Envy
Check out the previous posts on recurring conversations and pain points as well as the introduction to the series. In the past, my tendency was to see an edge in the distance and to do a 180 degree turn in the opposite direction. It didn’t matter if going in the other direction was taking me…

Have you seen Audacity? Send her my way, please.
Goals. I think they are for other people. Or just not for me. Not the big ones, anyway. I get excited when I cross something off my list for the day… I see others accomplishing big audacious things And I think to myself… “I wish that was me.” Or “Why do they get to do…

Sing.
I listened to a sound clip today that documents the moment that the guns stopped shooting at the end of WWI. The first minute is so loud. I can’t imagine being there and constantly hearing the artillery. I can’t really imagine the constant noise, the cost, the heartache, the loss the pain. What would it be…
