Practice Vulnerability
|
Hi Reader! I'm in the midst of writing my next book, and in this process, I've been sitting with what it means to be vulnerable, not solely as an idea, but I desire to be vulnerable as a practice. I want to share a moment of reflection with you: Vulnerability is a request to be treated like I’m precious. It helps me ask for what I need. When I ask for what I need, I am able to move forward into and expand softness. I am able to trust myself in life's tension and the goodness that life brings me.
My vulnerability practice is to tell the truth to myself and to share truth with those I am in a relationship with.
Yes, vulnerability opens us up to both hurt and healing. But… That’s what the heart is for… to open us up to possibilities.

I’ve been listening to Karen Clark Sheard’s song Praying Spirit on repeat. There’s a line that feels like it was written for me right now: “Lord, when I pray, give me what to say.” Because in this season, I’m tender. I’m overwhelmed. I’m in transition. I’m becoming. I’m navigating the weight of a PhD program. I’m holding uncertainty around my work and a few major projects. I’m writing a book with urgency about Black love's survival. I’m deepening into priesthood. And I just turned 43. And I...
Hi Reader! Happy New Year! I decided not to rush January. Or January decided that for me, rather. And this newsletter is going to look very skim as a result because *There is supposed to be a video here but it's not sending so just know -- I tried to smile and wave at you to begin the new year but my newsletter provider doesn't want to let me be great!

Hi Reader! Happy December! *This is about to be a little lengthy but I swear its worth it and it's for YOU! There is a version of me that 2020 required. A version that needed quiet, land, stillness, and a slower pace. A version of me that needed healing on a cellular level... not performative healing, not “vacation healing,” but the kind of healing where your soul sinks into the soil and remembers itself. And to honor that version, I built a life that matched her needs. I moved out of the...
