September 18, Daily write, my ex-husband's birthday, excerpt:

I wish you joy, happiness, contentment. May you relish kvelling over our beautiful children. May you find moments of peace and quiet, alongside moments of raucous song and guitar strum.

May we both find our way in this world full of paradox and pain, full of beauty and laughter.

These are the fibers that make up a life. The weft we choose - or that sometimes is seemingly chosen for us - the threads of our making and unmaking.

September 15, Jill's Daily write, came out in a prayer of supplication today, excerpt:

Help me God to feel connected, to remember that we're in this together - whatever the heck that means. Help me to stay the course, to read, pray, listen in, look for and be open to inspiration, wherever it might come from. Help me be inspired so I might bring energy and love to this world.

Jill! I am giddy to find your words here (and it doesn’t matter at all where you post, I’m just so happy that you did, that you continue to bless me with your words). I so love this quiet prayer. So needed. Thank you, friend. xo

Not sure whether to keep posting here, but we will chat about that. For now, I will resume posting:)

September 14, Jill's Daily Write, excerpt:

Choose yourself. Choose love. Choose life. It's simple really. Yourself, love, life. The Great Triumvirate, the Great Venn Diagram. They can't help but come together; they are all part of the same package. Yourself. Love. Life.

Love this visual. It helps me breathe more deeply. How often I forget to breathe! You help me!
