Y’all, I turned 35 on 11/17 and my dear sister @lthall MADE this for me. Words cannot express how meaningful this is. Living next door to my SIL (@lthall): Lauren, my brother: @hilandhall, and nephews for the last 5 years — was such a grounding and affirming time in my life. Knowing and celebrating who I am and what I stand for was a major part of that— which was deeply supported by my family next door. This gift, made by the hands of an incredibly supportive and loving friend and sis, made my day. Thank you, Lauren! A note on the “6” above in the second photo... my dear roommate and friend @jmesgriff “stole” this from her childhood home which was destroyed in hurricane katrina. Thus, we call the window in my room “home and love,” something all humans long for day after day after day. 🏠❤️xoxoxoxox

Y’all. I got to hang out with Richard Rohr. And he is marvelous. ... “Metaphor is invariably more meaning, not less. Literalism is the lowest and least level of meaning. We must never be too tied to our own metaphors as the only possible way to speak the truth, and yet we also need good metaphors to go deep. That is the inherent tension and conflict: only the right symbol dives deep into the good, the true, and the beautiful and retrieves these like pearls from the ocean depths. The right symbol at the right time allows us to move beyond complexity and illusion. Often that which looks like mere symbol is indeed the doorway to all that you really need to know—if you approach it humbly and respectfully.” Richard Rohr, Immortal Diamond #RichardRohr #ThomasMerton

I do not regret that last minute ticket to @hamiltonmusical last night in Chicago. All the feelings. 😂😍😭😡🤯😳🤭 “Love doesn't discriminate Between the sinners And the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep loving anyway We laugh and we cry And we break And we make our mistakes And if there's a reason I'm by her side When so many have tried Then I'm willing to wait for it I'm willing to wait for it… Death doesn’t discriminate Between the sinners And the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep living anyway We rise and we fall And we break And we make our mistakes And if there’s a reason I’m still alive When everyone who loves me has died I’m willing to wait for it I’m willing to wait for it…” Wait For It, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Photo by @eveedstrom! Thank you!!)
