An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith | Barbara Brown Taylor

I‘m not sure about this one yet.

I added it to my list when going through #AuldLangSpine recs with a fine-toothed comb. I asked my husband to buy it for my birthday. I decided to dive in now to scout it as a potential gift for my stepmom. I think I support the author‘s overall message. I‘m not sure (yet) whether I‘m here for her *tone.* TBD.

It might not have been a natural follow-up to “A Well-Trained Wife.” Religious content is tricky atm…

TheBookHippie I cannot. If you needed the probs only person who 🤮🤢 this book. It‘s HER. Not necessarily the content for me I think. 4d

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom | Don Miguel Ruiz

#MentalHealthMonday

I was doing pretty good yesterday. We had a family dinner Sunday night to celebrate hubby‘s birthday and that good feeling lasted until I saw reports of ICE being in our town and the next one over. These were citizen posts and vitriol that came out was disturbing. I haven‘t found any concrete info to verify validity yet.

This morning woke up to mass firings at my husband‘s company. The manufacture metals and EM & Space X ⬇️

Deblovestoread Are customers. So far it is safety and environmental departments that are cleaned out. Sh*t is getting real and scary. Husband is union but doubt that is any sort of protection at this point. Just trying to breathe and not go into catastrophizing this situation. 4d

Deblovestoread I don‘t really do self help books but the tagged book helped me years ago. Might be time to bring it out again. 4d

TheBookHippie Sending light. ICE is here as well, and nasty, they are very happy they don‘t have rules anymore. BREATHE. 4d

ImperfectCJ It's not awesome right now, that's for sure. Waiting for the other shoe to drop (and wondering how many shoes there are) is nerve-wracking. Sending you a deep breath. Hopefully you can find something beautiful to bring you a bit of solace. 4d

AmyG It‘s all so frightening. 4d

dabbe @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread My “like“ is in total support of YOU both and your towns against this abomination. Stand strong. ❣️👊🏻❣️ (edited) 4d

KadaGul Is there a country welcoming those distressed by Trump's leadership, offering a compassionate standard of living, embracing diversity, and providing meaningful benefits? I'm truly hoping to find such a place. 4d

bthegood @Deblovestoread @TheBookHippie @ImperfectCJ @AnnCrystal @Ruthiella @AmyG @dabbe @KadaGul - My heart goes out to you and your husband Debra. One of my colleagues, on the board of Annunciation House (their stated mission “Accompanying the migrant, refugee, and economically vulnerable people of the border“) is going to El Paso with 12 students over the break to work at Annunciation House - there is good in the world - find the light.

CoverToCoverGirl @KadaGul Canada is such a place but he is taking aim at us too. I‘m horrified for the entire human race. 😢 3d

The Goddess Path: Myths, Invocations & Rituals | Patricia Monaghan

pick

I didn‘t expect to get through this book so fast. But I really enjoyed it and found myself making time to read a chapter or so each day. There is a lot in here about reclaiming the goddess oath and our feminine power.

The Cloister Walk | Kathleen Norris

pick

This book was a tough read (reading via my vintage kindle added to the challenge), but I stuck with because it was good. I have personal experiences that gave me specific interests in the author‘s details and I think that was essential to my positive opinion of this book. Kathleen is a poet and how that juxtaposed with her time spent in the theology of Benedictine monasteries was fascinating. #NunLitQuarterly
