Friends, in my last post I made the point that our lives are now going at Warp Speed. We are hit with a barrage of information in a single day; it’s enough to make the head swim and the nerves fray. Our souls were not made to live that fast.
I do want to spend time in the next several weeks pondering the ways that we can bring a bit of peace and balance back into our daily lives, but before I go there, I need to address one aspect of the internet: expectations.

Good morning. It is early, the kids are sleeping, and it’s dark outside. I love this time of day when everything is new. I am sitting in my prayer corner, a renovated area of my home (it used to be the bar!), surrounded by books, pictures of my people, my favorite Divine Mercy Image, and Our Lady of Fatima. A fresh cup of coffee is steaming beside me.
Knowing that I am making time for my personal writing makes me feel warm inside; I’ve been working to mold 12, 13 and 14 year olds into writers; it feels delicious to just sit and write for fun. I have a friend that I don’t see as often as I would like. Yet when we make the time to hang out, it’s like old times immediately. We laugh and enjoy each other’s company; I think we are comfortable with each other because our shared history binds us. She knows just about everything there is to know about me, yet she still loves me. Because of her unconditional acceptance, I like who I am with her.
