\"\"<\/a>Today, I awoke to find Karen Maezen Miller\u2019s blog, Cheerio Road<\/strong>, in my emailbox. With quiet time, and everyone still in bed, I decided to read it, and scrolled down her \u201cmust reads\u201d to find Jena Strong’s I Am Good Enough<\/strong>, with musings about \u201ccoming out,\u201d which were breathtaking. Scrolling down her<\/em><\/strong> \u201cmust reads\u201d I found life coach Tara Sophia Mohr\u2019s \u201c10 Rules for Brilliant Living.\u201d So brilliant, I will be posting them on our site, shortly.<\/p>\n

Clicking on her thumbnails moved me to Moving Memoirs Blog \u2013 3 Sisters Village<\/strong>, the kind words (in video) and meditation practice of Tara Brach, and finally to the book, Self Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind<\/em><\/strong>, by Kristin Neff. I ordered it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I started and ended with, from Cheerio Road:<\/p>\n

Leaving things be<\/a><\/p>\n

The dryer broke, the weeds are choking, the dust is piling, the heat is climbing, I\u2019m leaving things be. Here are some other pursuits for the time being.<\/p>\n

Right Here With You<\/a> \u2013 A new book on relationships, with some of my stuff on marriage.
\nRelationship with Fear<\/a> \u2013 Our first and last love.
\nA Gust of Wind<\/a> \u2013 God breathing a reminder to let go.
\nThe Body of Wisdom<\/a> \u2013 Feets of faith.
\nImpossible Things Happen<\/a> \u2013 This right here is your proof.
\nShells on the Beach<\/a> \u2013 The illusion of self.
\nBrain Drain<\/a> \u2013 Nowhere to go, nothing to get.<\/p>\n

When I look,<\/em><\/strong> I mean really look<\/em><\/strong> at what appears before me,<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0I find that I often get what I need. It\u2019s now 6:33 a.m. My children are awakening\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
