Snippets

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.


Heb 12:1-2

Brene Brown's I thought it was just me is a lovely book. Read it overnight. About shame and women and how do we process and how do we built resilience to shame. Really good. Lots of self-examination, and learning more nuanced vocabulary for describing feelings of inner turmoil and reaching out to give/receive empathy.

New definition for courage. ordinary courage (a heart word) "to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart" -- Contrast two kinds of courage: St George (slay the dragon) vs St Martha (befriend/tame the dragon). how do I deal with fear, shame, uncertainty, aloneness, guilt, worry?

I like super-fine-tip pens. so so much. Especially when the ink flows out smoothly, not in dribbles and drops.

Pumpkin is so good! And today is the day! to stock up on candy... =D

Not goodbye, but see you later.
