A thoughtful essay about #sabbathpractices + the *sometimes* complicated mother/daughter relationship.

@jdanatrent I want to go! Ugh! Why don’t we live in the same town?!?

@lyndseymedford @CSCleve @jnicolemorgan @AmandaMBeck @hillarylmcbride I recommend “This Is My Body” by @hannahdelight.

@BenHowardOPT Obviously, I’ve used this talent for my personal gain on many occasions. #sograteful #thatswhatfriendsarefor

One of the great poets of grief has gone on to glory. But while she was here, she gave us words to wait out the in between.

The Uses of Sorrow

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.
- Mary Oliver

In case you need this reminder today: Sometimes all it takes is asking for help or saying that you’re struggling, and people will be there. Even strangers. And especially @SouthwestAir workers. Thank you, Southwest!

Best tweet I’ve seen all day.

To the dude next to me on the bus (because the A is f***ed today) who just quietly showed me this while I was with my kid, so that he was none the wiser, thank you

[Aundi Kolber, Therapist+Author @aundikolber]

The struggles you face are not the truest thing about you.

The trauma you’ve lived is not the truest thing about you.

The work still to be done in your life is not the truest thing about you.

Your identity as deeply, and fully loved, is the truest thing about you. #beloved

@hannahdelight @URBooks Don’t mind me...just over here blushing. 😊😊😊

[Joanna Bradley Kennedy @writenotwrong]

@jdanatrent @URBooks Is there a #whyiedit hashtag? There should be! Because of incredible writers like you!

[Joanna Bradley Kennedy @writenotwrong]

Never been prouder to be a @taylorswift13 fan.

Jesus knew what it was like to sit in a tomb with no light.

So many friends have expressed their own struggles with depression.

I know what it feels like when depression descends and overtakes.

Right now, it's important to check in with people.

@WildGooseFest Be prepared for rain (it always rains). Bring bug spray. Eat “the veggie thing” for as many meals as possible. The portapotties are surprisingly clean, so (if you’re like me) worry less about that.

[Joanna Bradley Kennedy @writenotwrong]

@jdanatrent @WildGooseFest Look at our amazing team! So proud of our work together last year and excited for what we will accomplish this year. Here’s to more tattoos!!!

"What if 'rich' did not have to mean 'wealthy', and 'whole' did not have to mean 'healed'? What if being the people of "the gospel" meant that we are simply people with good news? God is here. We are loved. It is enough.”

My recap of #FFWgr2018 and tips for fellow festival goers! "Doing this festival exactly like 2016 would've been enough[...] Thank God nothing ever happens the same way twice." https://t.co/x9vPZR5aLj

[Anne Trudel @atrudel]

Honored to have been part of the Festival of Faith & Writing in Grand Rapids. Our authors @jdanatrent and @whitrsimpson shone in their #meditation classes. New author @hannahdelight was there to see her book for the 1st time. We acquired it @ the 2016 festival. #ffwgr @URBooks

#FFWgr2018 has me breathless, but I just heard from @WildGooseFest and I’ll be leading a session there! We will be claiming our stories, bodies, selves with a Love Feast and temporary tattoos and I just. cannot. wait. Let me know if you’ll be there!
