This past Thursday, July 29th marked the day ten years ago when we sat in the breast center of our local hospital receiving the confirming news of my breast cancer diagnosis. They say surviving breast cancer ten years later is significant. I think “they” must be right, so as the day approached, I was intent […]
First Monday… Are You Kitting Me? (Summer of Celebration 2021)
Hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th and is still celebrating…Since celebrating should hardly be done solo, I decided to ask my friend Jen about her thoughts on the “Summer of Celebration”. She whipped up the following and left me speechless. I couldn’t help but share with all of you. How blessed to be loved […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (June 2021)
Summer is upon us. In fact, it is pretty heavy upon us in these parts. I have been thinking a lot about what I want the rhythm of this summer to be. Then I want my decisions about our summer schedule to help settle us into that rhythm. July 29th which is about halfway through […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (May 2021)
“Because God delights in us entering into the fray of this world, to bring light, beauty, and truth and to stand strongly and boldly for His purposes, He sends us trials and training to prepare us for the platform He would have us stand on.” ~Sally Clarkson I was reminded several different times this week […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (April and Easter 2021)
Spring has sprung, it seems. We are slowly crawling our way out of our Covid caves of isolation. Is it just me or do our interactions with each other just seem awkward? To deny that we are all changed and still being changed by this trauma we have experienced would be dishonest. However, I do […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (March 2021)
You may (or more likely may not) recall a post I wrote a little before Easter last year about Shabbat which is the Jewish word for Sabbath. (If you don’t recall, you can certainly find it HERE and might be worth another read especially if you enjoy the art of looking back like I do.) […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me (February 2021)
Well hello, snow. Welcome to February in MD! It is quite a privilege to sit in the director’s chair of this ministry. It is experiences like I have had this week that confirm the vision and affirm all the efforts that we have put toward Pinked over the years. In June of 2019, I received […]
First Monday of the New Year…Are You Kitting Me? (January 2021)
When I think about my word for 2021, the pessimism and fatigue in me would choose “survive”. Or perhaps “adapt” since we never know what the next day is going to throw at us. As we continue to very much be in the midst of the scariness of the pandemic and feeling isolated, even the […]
First Monday…Are You Kitting Me? (TGI…Almost 2021 Edition)
The Advent season is a time like none other! Even more fortunate for me, it comes on the heels of pink October’s and the awesome time of thankful reflection that is November. As I sit in the midst of 2020’s Advent season preparing my heart, I am looking back on a whole lot of hard. […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting Me? (November Thankfulness)
It is always hard to flip the calendar to November. I do find that October brings me incredible energy and purpose. We are confident that the victories that we experience in October are out of our hands. That is why we knew that in facing this very different October, we could trust that the support for this ministry would be ever-present. Instead […]
