Been off this platform since Inauguration Day last January. Originally went off all social media, but after a while went back on FB to stay connected to family and friends personal updates and photos etc. I miss so many interactions I used to have with a broader online community.

I no longer have hope in hope.
Hope is not a magic pill. Hope is in the work of our hands, the courage in our souls, and the compassion of our hearts.
Don't hope. Show up with love.

I can’t help it that my brain is this way. I like to laugh and have fun, but my humor processors are glitchy. My default is to take you seriously and show concern/empathy. My kid’s default is to say stuff just to say stuff, always doing a bit.
Blue sky is awesome because a bunch of people who like to make jokes and a bunch of people who are incapable of identifying a joke are forced to share space

I am feeling the fear and despair more than the faith and hope, so I need messages like this.
Goodnight all. I pray each night for faith over fear, for hope over despair, for love over hate. Empires rise and fall; tyrants come and go, but the truth abides. I pray for resilience and perseverance. For kindness. The Lord bless you and keep you!

I had the opposite - I (a pastor) officiated a last minute wedding with only the couple & their two witnesses. Later the county contacted me to ask if I had performed the ceremony & I said yes. The couple was trying to claim they weren’t actually married to avoid some legal ramifications.
has anyone in the modern age had their wedding invalidated on grounds they didn't have a legitimate officiant? like two Roman Catholics had a non-ordained friend marry them and the court said "sorry that's not legitimate according to your tradition"

What are you spending your money and time on? What are your TRUE priorities? YOUR true priorities. How are you treating yourself & others? How's your joy & gratitude doing?
Stop.
Listen.
Breathe.

First thought:
I wish I wasn’t already too old for this because it would be good to guard against cervical cancer.
Second thought:
Oh yeah, I don’t have a cervix anymore.
But if you fit the criteria, go get this shot!

remember when I tried to get an HPV shot and my OBGYN told me no because “that’s a shot for hoes!”
turns out you can just go to the grocery store and get one at the pharmacy
HPV vaccines are approved for women up to age 45 in the USA & significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer!

I read a book today—one I bought over 5 years ago.
Books don’t have deadlines—they wait for you, patiently, until the moment is right.

Write because you are going to run out of everything else: time, money, fucks to give. But you will never run out of your own bullshit. You could live forever on this unlimited fuel of emotional damage and charm. Plus people think you're funny. You're such a good writer. Live más.

I’m glad you found a bench to hold space for you. I hope the weeping was a helpful release. I don’t love the term “good cry” maybe cleansing cry is more fitting. I’ve had a couple of those this week. I wish things didn’t feel extra heavy and hard right now.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

If your loved one goes to church, please call that church when they go into hospital or pass away. In many cases, they have friends who’ve loved them for decades who would appreciate knowing - and we might could be helpful!
