I knew we were alike with goals and plans! The noticing and naming has really helped me sift through the burdens and give them perspective. usually a corrected perspective.

That has been helpful to me this year too! Being able to articulate reality helps me better understand and deal with it.

I so agree with you that silence and solitude are key essential practices in our spiritual journey. Love Ruth Haley Baron’s writing and her podcast too. Always stretches me a bit.

I love the word mindful and bet it does guide your day. Have a great weekend, Martha!

I’ve been putting into practice her suggestions, in order to experience God’s presence more intimately and more consistently. I believe my attentiveness is increasing as I “create time and space for wonder and gratitude” and invite God to show me when I “may not have been as loving as I want to be or times I failed to notice or respond to a prompting of the Holy Spirit” (p. 67). To borrow phrasing from C. S. Lewis, I look forward to moving further up and further in as I allow solitude and silence with God to change me.

Before I go off on some tangent, I find myself returning to this word first, to make sure I’m fully aware of how and why God is calling me in a specific direction. And if that’s not quite clear, I’m careful to be tuned to His voice as I traverse the journey.
Blessings, Jean!
