In life, those who share in your tallest mountain tops and lowest valleys are those whom we call friends. Living those experiences are sure to sort out your friends for you. Publishing a book and a family member’s death are two of those things. Let me tell you what a month it has been.

@ruffledbygrace.bsky.social: Grief has a way of both stretching and sustaining gratitude. I have deep gratitude for the foundation you helped me buildβ€”my education, friendships and traditions. But I am stretched by the rift between who you were and who you have become.

Thanks to Good Faith Media for this opportunity to write about grief, gratitude and belonging.

Amen! I will go about my day, enjoy my garden and spread love.

Well, our family wasn’t raptured. It’s after 7:00 AM and it’s time to start our very normal day. Metro. Boulot. Dodo.

An eternal goodbye - infinitely difficult. But now we are home. And we will learn to navigate this world without Dad. I’m not sure how yet, but he loved us so well, so I am confident we will figure it out.

O Divine Spirit,
Capture my tears in your heart.
Bring comfort to my sorrowful weeping.

Dad is home. Hospice came in and prepared everything (as they do!). I am such a believer in the work of hospice and have had incredibly positive experiences in the past. Grateful my Dad will be comfortable at home now.
Sharing this because while I try to live pretty transparently on social media, it’s been hard to share my Dad’s sickness. I was a fool for having my heart tugged. Sadly, that’s both a lesson and a warning. And also why I have been so quiet. Friends, pray for my family.

I am so sorry. Sending light and breath, and my shortened version of my favorite Thich Naht Hanh meditation:

In, out
Deep, slow
Calm, ease
Present moment.

Long story short, work was never done. No response to my refund requests and finally just no response. My father was placed on hospice this week and that $ could have been a flight home. Angry doesn’t even cover it.

I was taken in by a sad story and request from a Twitter mutual for extra work to earn money because their father was unwell. My father was unwell at the time and I had work to be done.
