Mes douleurs de croissance

Anything worthwhile doing requires some level of discomfort. Growing pains are simply a signal that we are on the right path.

We are made to stretch. There is a reason many of us get a restlessness in us. Restlessness occurs when we aren’t being obedient to the call in our daily lives that compels us towards loving kindness and goodness towards others (and ourselves) in our present circumstances.

It is countercultural but I always prefer to err on the side of Jesus.

La vie douce occurs when we live by this very simple instruction:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbour as yourself.”

It is as easy (or as difficult) as that.

Growth=stretching=more growth=more stretching

Souvenir 101

I can never, ever, EVER find my name on a key chain, mug or random souvenir. Maybe I don’t even exist if my name doesn’t appear on a mug?

I remember one day in elementary school that the new gym teacher greeted me by name! I was stunned! Somebody knew me by name! WOW! I mattered! (Fun fact, I was wearing the t-shirt that I assume my mom had made for me that had my name boldly on it.)

Part of finding our own bliss AND creating opportunities for others to experience joy is to simply know and be known.
