spirituality

I journal. I don‘t journal before bed every night if I don‘t have anything to write about but recently, I reapplied for the St. Martin‘s Press Early Readers Program after being in their program for years and they rejected me. I wrote about it in my journal. It ended up being a 3 page journal entry. I realized what bothered me the most was that they never used to care about how many followers you have and now, they do.

Itchyfeetreader I can see how that change without explaining is annoying. Love how journaling can help work out feelings and thoughts 5d

TheBookHippie I‘m so sorry. That‘s awful. 5d

This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us | Cole Arthur Riley

“I used to think that Christian contemplation was reserved for white men who leave copies of C.S. Lewis's letters strewn about and know a great deal about coffee and beard oils. If this is you, there is room for you here. But I am interested in reclaiming a contemplation that is not exclusive to whiteness, intellectualism, ableism, or mere hobby. And as a Black woman, I am disinterested in any call to spirituality that divorces my mind from ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …my body, voice, or people. To suggest a form of faith that tells me to sit down alone and be quiet? It does not rest easy on the bones. It is a shadow of true contemplative life, and it would do violence to my Black-woman soul.” 2w

If Women Rose Rooted: The Power of the Celtic Woman | Sharon Blackie

🌀 this book opened doors that I‘m still learning how to walk-through. & for that, I know I‘ll be returning to it‘s pages later on in life. I feel it reaching toward me, but there are pieces I know I‘ll understand more deeply with time and experience. #nonfiction #audiobook #feminism #naturalitsy #reading #bibliophile #uncommon

If Women Rose Rooted: The Power of the Celtic Woman | Sharon Blackie

📚Reading Reflections At78%📚
As powerful as Blackie's words are- I have a problem with such stark contrast between lyrical storytelling & the raw, messy edges of everyday life...
However, I admire that she shares voices of other women, offering #ecofeminism & real-life examples of how we can shape our own journey & bring that wisdom back into your immediate world.
