A Spiritual Journey Through Creativity
A couple weeks ago I went to a breath work class at my yoga studio. I had actually started a blog about breathing earlier today, but I’ll save that for later. After going to a breath work workshop this afternoon, I feel there are more pressing things to process. Detachment – looking at an experience,… Continue reading Detachment
Another year has come and gone. It’s hard to believe 37 years have already passed. When did that happen? How is it possible? At the start of this year I wrote a blog reflecting on the past year, but that was more events and experiences. For today I want to reminisce a bit and honor… Continue reading 37
I often think about the chain of events required to happen in order for people to meet or experiences to occur. For example, the only reason I found the job description for my current position is due to the fact that I was looking at a part-time blog coordinator position at the IU Lilly Family… Continue reading T’s Quilts
I started selling quilts in 2013. One of my first customers was my cousin Jennifer. She asked me to make a t-shirt quilt for her husband. It was a big quilt and had t-shirts on both sides. Considering it was one of the first quilts I made for someone else, I was so grateful for… Continue reading Aunt Jenn
I think I’ve had an idea for a blog post almost every day this week, but they never panned out. I think my brain is on overload. It’s hard to process too much right now because every day this week I was introduced to new ideas, new programs, new responsibilities, new people, new, new, new…… Continue reading New: A List
I have so much to process from the last seven days. It’s possible I’ll go on another mission trip with Appalachia Service Project and North UMC someday, but for now this was my last trip. My 9th ASP. I think my 18th or 19th weeklong youth ministry trip. It was a big week for me… Continue reading Bridges
When I chose Gratitude to be my one word for this year, I really had no idea how appropriate it would be. I initially chose it because I wanted to be happier with my life and by focusing on gratitude I figured my attitude and perspective would change. I was right about that. Each morning… Continue reading One Word Check-In
As I’ve been preparing for tonight the only thing I had in mind was this: It’s Josh’s last youth group and we need to make it awesome for him. Josh was my intern for the past two years. Over my time at North I’ve had a college intern most years – some for a semester,… Continue reading Lasts
At the start of my sabbatical last fall I had a plan. (Of course, I had a plan!) I would spend the first month decompressing. The second month would be for reflection. Finally, in that third month I would make some decisions. By the end of my sabbatical I wanted to know these things: -… Continue reading Leaving
When I met with my therapist yesterday we talked a little bit about my dreams. After sharing a few with her, I realized that perhaps my dream life was a bit unusual, maybe more active than most? I don’t know. You tell me… I remember a lot of my dreams – many times because they… Continue reading Dreams
