"God’s shalom is always reaching for our true selves, reminding us how intricately and intentionally we’ve been created in love."

Amen. Thank you for these tender reminders.

I love this so much, Tasha. I know that feeling of the dominant Christian culture being extroverted and evangelical and me not fitting that mold...grateful for these other ways of being a follower of Jesus - contemplatives, mystics, and the rest. Love watching your spiritual direction journey unfold.

First, can you make a list of all the books you’re reading and send them to me? I didn’t expect this to tug at my heart like it did. Thanks to you and Jesus, I’m a weeping mess..which is obviously what my soul needed. Thank you!

Wearing the wrong-sized clothes…yes! This rings so true, Tasha. Your writing has always felt contemplative (I think that’s what drew me to it), and it’s beautiful to see how God has led you to this place now.

Thank you, friend. I feel it.

Good for you. Literally.

I am in my mid-fifties and still figuring out who I am, what I have to offer as gifts to the world, and what I want to do when I grow up. And that is how my husband and I have arrived at the place of selling or giving away 99% of our possessions and wandering the world as nomads, blessing and being blessed by those we encounter along our convoluted path. 💜

What a brave thing to not only live out, but chose to acknowledge, Sherry. May these brave and vulnerable steps forward lead you to new depths of flourishing and connection.

Wow Tasha, I so appreciated and resonated with all of this. Thank you for the invitation and permission to be beginners at things that are in line with our true selves. It is a good word that it is not too late to walk these roads and we are not too old. Thank you.
