this week in liberty

we celebrated jessica’s __th birthday

this week also includes the anniversary of her brother’s passing

it’s a full week

there is tension in this week, tension, emotion, and reminiscence

for me, the highlight of the week was easily our birthday dinner date saturday night and conversation

this week jess also shared an email from my mom, whom i haven’t spoken to in a few months, w/me — she asked how i was doing

i facilitated a 3-day course at work, attended meetings at 3 diff campuses on thursday, and was in an all-day orientation session friday  – had little time to work, to produce

this week i’ll be in oceanside, ca to facilitate a learning plan development session for clients

this will be a full week

today i spent time with my church family and with my family family

and tonight i took time out to read

here some excerpts that have stood out to me recently . . .

from joan ball’s, i don’t care about heaven or hell

I cannot change the realities of life after death. There is a Heaven and hell or there isn’t. What I need to focus on is what I can change: myself by being willing and allowing myself to be transformed (by one I first understood as “higher power” and now call Jesus Christ) and the world around me by doing my best to love God and others as Jesus asked.
