“…taking steps long before I feel ready.” How I’d love to listen to you reflect on the lessons learned from this practice. Inevitably, “mistakes” are made should we embrace this practice, yet I wonder about the importance, even of making “mistakes.” Of course, I’m not suggesting a haphazard approach nor a Savior impulse. But the notion of simply responding without feeling ready to do so seems like such an important practice. I wonder, have your feelings of unpreparedness diminished as you’ve practiced this?

Jen, I love how reflective AND articulate you are. I relate very much to the two poles of paralyzed intellectualism and now-oriented problem solving energy. Oh the fear of looking foolish, or blatantly doing harm, it is strong in this one. As I was reading I was wondering what sustainability practices you notice in colleagues that don’t now share your faith background. What are you noticing and learning in them as regards to community, balance, action and contemplation?
Also, I would love to get in on the escape room crew, that’s brilliant. You helped me realize what my brainy murder mystery love does to address intellect and “action” within fictional stakes. And yes, I was literally doing a song and dance for my husband yesterday, when after a few different conversations it all came down to “relationship” (singing: da-da-da-da, it’s all about relationship.) Thanks for you continued insight and examination for us all to learn from.

I love reading what you write. You have to ability to paint a true picture of yourself. I can sense your self awareness and desire to understand yourself. And that allows me to see you and understand you. Thank you
