Now what!?

Circumstances acted a fool on me, today.

Today, I stood.

Now what, circumstances?!

You, do NOT run this.

You, do NOT run me.

You, circumstances, shall run from me.

Situations cut up on me, today.

Today, I trusted.

Now what, situations!?

You, do NOT own this.

You, do NOT own me.

You, situations, shall be owned by me.

Now what?!

I am not afraid of you. I laugh at you. You cause me to grow. You force me to fight.

You give me new opportunities to stand, to trust, to show you how much power you actually have over my life:

NONE!

Kick rocks, circumstances and situations! I do not fear you. I welcome the hard lessons I learn from EVERY blow you make, from every chance you take to diminish me.

The ONLY things I lose, in these skirmishes, are my fear and my pride. Those, you may have. I have no need of them.

Now what?!

😎

  Heart Check — Friday, October 9, 2026 Love was already in the room ❤️🔑 Beloveds, We’ve been opening drawers in our hearts all week. Looking at locks. Looking at doors. Looking at the places where we got stuck. We found things we had tucked away. We found some “shoulds” that had been sitting there far … Continue reading Heart Check — Friday, October 9, 2026 →

  Beloveds, We made it to Friday. Not everybody arrived triumphantly. Somebody crawled. Somebody coasted. Somebody changed the plan four times. Somebody did the bare minimum and had to call that enough. Somebody surprised themselves. Somebody is still waiting for the thing they hoped would change this week. Welcome. This week we talked about rest, beginning … Continue reading FRIDAY →

  Thursday, October 8, 2026 — 6:00 PM Who has a key? 🔑❤️ Beloveds, Yesterday I told you we needed to talk about keys. So… empty your pockets. 👀🔑 Because somewhere along the way, some of us started confusing love with unlimited access. They are not the same thing. You can love somebody and change what … Continue reading Thursday, October 8, 2026 — 6:00 PM →

  Heart Check — Thursday, October 8, 2026 Who has a key? 🔑❤️ Beloveds, We’ve talked about being stuck. We’ve looked at what we locked away. Yesterday we confronted that enormous little lock called “should.” Today I want to talk about keys. Who has one? And maybe just as important: Who shouldn’t? 👀 Love does not … Continue reading Heart Check — Thursday, October 8, 2026 →
• JOY DOES NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN ITSELF.October 8, 2026
  Beloveds, I would like to file a complaint against the idea that everything enjoyable must also be productive. 🤣 Sometimes I want the movie. Sometimes I want the music. Sometimes I want the joke that makes absolutely no contribution to civilization. Sometimes I want to laugh until whatever was heavy five minutes ago has to … Continue reading JOY DOES NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN ITSELF. →
