Confessions of a joy skeptic
For anyone who doesn’t like joy. I get it, that used to be me, too.

When life floods, taking it one step at a time
Emotional overwhelm rises, peaks and hangs out, then recedes. Space and grace help get through.

“Wow, that’s gorgeous.” I wish I had known that response was possible, even for someone like me.
