The Ties that Bind: Reflecting on 50 Years of Love, Faith, and Connection

ย  My parents married 50 years ago at the church they grew up in, that I grew up in, and where my husband and I also got married. It's a special place, with wonderfully imperfect and lovable people. On their actual anniversary, we were able to worship there together as an extended family, and then we went to brunch. My parents, who joined the ranks of the 6%ย of couples who reach a 50th … [Read more...] about The Ties that Bind: Reflecting on 50 Years of Love, Faith, and Connection

You are Awesome: A Manifesto

You are awesome. Though you probably don't believe it. It's easy to forget our awesomeness when we stare at magazines, secretly wishing we looked like someone else. We want to be more of this, or less of that. Comparing ourselves to others, never truly knowing what's going on in their lives, we convince ourselves that they have it all together. And that we don't. But our mindset is only the … [Read more...] about You are Awesome: A Manifesto

Unwrapping Gifts in the Messiness of Life

Barlet Wilbert's hope chest, like that of most mothers, is filled with items that parents keep from their children's early years - a plaster mold imprint of baby's hand, the outfit the newborn wore home from the hospital, a special dress worn on Easter. But her chest also holds items that no parent wishes they owned or wanted to hold on to - page after page of entries from her eldest daughter's … [Read more...] about Unwrapping Gifts in the Messiness of Life

Women have a higher risk of Alzheimer's than men but often don't recognize what they can do to reduce that risk. Image is of a woman with outstretched hands, as if to hold a computer-generated image of a brain

Of every three people in the United States living with Alzheimer’s, two are women. And, even factoring in women’s longer lifespans, they’re twice as likely as men to develop the disease. But a recent poll indicated that many women don’t know about their elevated risk, nor what they can do to reduce it. It’s time […]

"You can never change just one behavior. Our behav "You can never change just one behavior. Our behaviors are interconnected, so when you change one behavior, other behaviors also shift." - B.J. Fogg, social scientist and author of "Tiny Habits"

Still thinking about the conversations, ideas, and Still thinking about the conversations, ideas, and welcome I experienced Saturday @wildgoosefest, and I know this experience will stay with me for a long time. ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

So grateful to my friends @secondbreathcenter for inviting me to the Goose as part of a panel discussing "Mothering as a Verb." 

We talked about ways we've been mothered; ways that we've mothered other people, pets, ourselves, ideas, and things including vocations; and how spiritual practice has supported us in and through that.

What's spiritual practice? It's practical tools and strategies that help you connect more with God, yourself, and others. These mind-body practices can help transform our way of thinking, feeling, and behaving away from fear and control โžก๏ธ toward faith, hope, and love.

For example, through the years I've mothered my creativity, my vocation, and my children with the practices of journaling, mindfulness meditation, and centering prayer. These are some of the ways I refill my tank.

What are ways you fill your tank?

Second Breath offers classes and practices rooted in the Christian wisdom tradition and modern neuroscience. I first experienced those classes in 2018 and this fall will be facilitating an online group going through "The Inward Journey" together. If you're interested in knowing more (or getting a discount code for a class!) send me a DM.

For now, I'm treasuring my weekend, what I learned from many different speakers throughout the day, and the gift of these new sisters and their stories. 

tl;dr - I went to the Wild Goose festival and, as part of a panel formed by #secondbreathcenter, spoke about "mothering as a verb." It was deep, authentic, and meaningful.
