I made a post today about feeling hope . Later while running errands, this road I’d never been on ended in front of this sign.

I’m posting here in case you need one:

a sign.

The Four Agreements was the topic of Episode 57. I said in that podcast how transformative practicing the agreements has been for me.

It is discipline for my mind. It is part of my intention to not be tossed around by my mind and emotions.

I don’t think I mentioned it in the episode, but over time I found it necessary to add a 5th agreement:

Don’t argue with what is.

This quote reminded me of that. Does it mean I’m not disappointed if the rain caused an event to be canceled? No.

Does it mean I don’t rush out and grab the chair cushions or cover the grill? No.

It just means I allow it to be, and I work with the parts of me that might feel scared of the thunder, or disappointed about canceling an outdoor event, etc.

If you are interested in learning more, this 5th agreement for me was highly influenced by the work of .katie

A beautiful plea from a mother’s heart:

It’s possible.

I know who you are.

I believe in you.

Don’t despair.

You must keep going.

We need you. ❤️

So I had this idea…

“We can dress in pink and go see Barbie!”

In fairness it was influenced by their decision to dye their hair blonde for a tournament a few months ago. 😁

They agreed to do it and were fully committed to the bit.

One of them helped me move everything out of storage so I could get to the bag with the blonde wig. It was over 100 degrees—no complaints.

The other one drove two hours, made it on time, walked in the door smiling and playing a Barbie song on his phone.

We laughed a lot and they treated me like a princess.

There is a verse in the Bible that says—“delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Last night I felt delighted—a rare and wonderful feeling—because these two wonderful men made it their business to give me the desire of my heart—to dress up and have fun.

As for the movie—it was fun and funny at first but the ending was a disappointment.

There was a contrast between the perfect and unrealistic Barbie World led by women and the flawed and difficult Real World run by men.

It could have been a great opportunity to show that masculinity and femininity together create life…that men aren’t better that women and women aren’t better than men—women and men are both essential.

There wasn’t one respectable male represented, and masculinity was portrayed as something cartoonish, domineering or stupid.

So maybe skip this movie 🤷🏻‍♀️ but consider for yourself or someone you love:

What would be fun?
What does the heart desire?
What would be delightful?

Moments of joy in the midst of the mundane and often difficult days remind us of what is also true.

Since graduating from high school, I occasionally have a different version of the same dream: I didn’t do enough to get credit for a math or science class and it’s too late—I won’t graduate.

In last night’s dream it was a math AND science class. In these dreams I always feel ashamed and very critical of myself for being so stupid or careless. I worry about others and feel remorse for letting down the people who love me.

My youngest son graduated from high school in May (he did enough 😁) and it’s been a whirlwind of activity.

For the first time in 30 years or so, I get to exercise the adult privilege of deciding just for me:

What do I want to do?
Where do I want to be?

It’s exhilarating and terrifying. A part of me believes I can’t, another part is afraid I won’t…do the big thing, take the risk, be authentic, act intentionally.

My subconscious or unconscious mind is trying to work it out. My job is to have faith, work hard and love myself through it.

My focus right now is on helping my son prepare to launch as a college student and setting myself up for a successful transition to the next chapter:

to “graduate to the next station in life” I envision for myself.

Excited about what’s next for the Mission Manhood Podcast. See you in September. ❤️

A favorite photo of a favorite parenting phase—after diapers and before adolescence.

The youngest in the photo graduates from high school in a week, so the sun is setting on my era of active parenting.

So grateful for the opportunity to be a mother.

I pray they will know I did my best to love them as an imperfect human. That the shortcomings and inevitable wounds will be healed with grace and time.

Praying for you today—whatever your experience of Mother’s Day—that you will find peace and healing in relation to and in your memory of her.

In a recent interview, someone asked, “What is your favorite characteristic in a person?”

I said, “Humility.”

It is the precursor to everything good and the portal for advancing through stages of maturity.

Without it, you can’t be born again.

Carlson is a controversial figure and demonized culturally like anyone currently who dares to question.

Hoping that he uses this opportunity to serve and lead with honor for the greater good.

Bad things—including divorce—happen to good people.

Helping families navigate through the rough waters of divorce is very important to me as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Divorce Mediator.

Repost from October. Mentioned in the just published Episode 52 of the Mission Manhood Podcast, seemed appropriate for today—Good Friday. 🙏

They are both true in this life:

The King of Kings

The Naked-Loser God

Up, Down

Strong, Weak

Giving, Receiving

You are not one or the other

Give strength, safety, structure

Receive compassion, care, consolation

Receive strength, safety, structure

Give compassion, care, consolation

The Dance:

In your heart,

In your relationships,

In the world ❤️

A very real and challenging post by “I have lost myself in this race, and I know not if I am to come back to what I used to be.

The problem with pursuing great heights is that your mind is too restless, too dissatisfied, constantly consumed by impatience, a persistent anxiety that tells you that you could be doing MORE.

Never stopping for one second to look at the love and life that is around you.

In seeking to build a great life, be careful that you don’t destroy the beautiful life that God has already blessed you with.

Soon it could be lost, because for all your efforts, life waits for no one.

You might die tomorrow and realize during your last flash of consciousness that you pursued an impossible goal with such focus that you missed your entire life.

I only hope it will be worth it. I only hope I can look back and say I did things right. That I acted like a man should. That I gave my all for the right reasons.

I have lost many opportunities to take a deep breath and take in the purest of moments because my mind refuses to let the present in.

No moment feels real, and you’re left to long forever for a future that never comes.

I fear that in this race towards a dream, I’ll let my entire life pass me by.

At this moment, here, now, I can’t do anything but wish that, eventually, I’ll reach a finish line.

That someday, I can finally rest, look my wife in the eye and see her, and just her, and not the visions of an ever changing future.”

This is important to see if you aren’t aware.

Brendan O’Neill:
“Next time you’re wondering how Salem came to be consumed by hysteria…This is how it happens. This is how fear of witches can overrule reason and unleash the darkest passions of the mob.

“What is Posey Parker’s crime? What did this witch do? She said, ‘A woman is an adult human female’…

“ Parker, whose real name is Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, is well known for her criticism of the ideology of transgenderism. She thinks a man never becomes a woman, no matter how many hormones he takes or surgeries he undergoes. She thinks if you were born male, you will die male, and in the time in between you have no right whatsoever to enter any women-only space.

“Parker organises public events called ‘Let Women Speak’. She has done it across the UK, in parts of the US, and for the past couple of weeks she’s been doing it in Australia and New Zealand.

Faith, family, love, beauty, commitment, joy, praise, blessing, new life.

Along with my beautiful sister-in-laws and nieces we gathered to celebrate the wedding of my nephew Jonathan and his bride Ana.
