Here are some of my favourite reads (and such) as of late:
These days I'm reading Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. Every other Monday, Alison and Becky and I get together over lunch to chat about the book (among other things). Seriously, this book is rocking my world.This post on marriage. I so appreciated the honesty and practically of this post and message. Bravo.
This post on jealousy and regret is a must-read. A couple of lines that really got me were: "Our jealousy teaches us so much, if we let it" and "I've found that the slower I go, the richer life feels". Lots to think about, for sure, in this post.
Susan Caine does this fascinating talk on TED about introverts. You can watch it here. I spent most of my teens and twenties desperately trying to be an extrovert. It's only been in the last ten or so years, that I have embraced the fact that I am indeed an introvert and am learning to honour my need for space, quiet and margin. It feels so great to be finally leaning into this and viewing it as a strength and not a weakness.
This really cool liturgy is just in time for Lent. Can I also say that I am super excited about the gluten-free pancakes I am making for Pancake Tuesday? :)
This post on raising brave kids has super challenged me. I need to be braver. Simple as that.
I'm participating in this year long scripture memory challenge....and it's not too late to join.
I loved this story about community. Super fun!
Have a great weekend, friends! Stay warm.
p.s. Have you chosen a word or a phrase for 2013? I'm still in the process of narrowing mine down and figuring that out. More on that to come :)
