Oh. My. Goodness. I just rewatched this for I think the 20th time (yes, it's THAT good) -- and I knew that I had to share it with you all. Please, I beg you, carve 20 minutes out of your day to check this out! I would love to know your thoughts and reactions!
I stumbled upon your blog when it came up on my Facebook feed. Wow! What life changes you have undergone. I think everyone hopes they might be so bold as to risk for love and fulfillment beyond an education and a job. Your writing is stunning - always authentic and full of reflective meaning. Thank you for sharing.
I've gone through a big transition myself, finishing as a youth minister this summer and beginning studies as a seminarian at Mount Angel for the Diocese of Boise. I don't feel bold and brave, but the changes in my life are forcing a newfound vulnerability and desire to share my experiences. If you care to follow my journey I keep a blog at www.inceptonedesistam.blogspot.com. Incepto ne desistam is Latin for "let me not shrink from my purpose."
This is a long comment. I apologize, but I felt the need to reconnect and didn't have a better way to do it. Keep writing and pondering the mysteries.
Thank you so much for writing! I am so excited for you and your new journey -- I love that you've started a blog, and I am anxious to read it (going there right after this!)!!! Vulnerability is the beginning of it all, my friend -- the place where wholeheartedness, compassion and connection begin, as the beautifully wise Brene says. Thank you so much for your kind words, Daniel, I am completely humbled.
So excited for you and your new beginnings! Thank you so much for reconnecting, I am truly grateful.
