Wishcasting: Brave

-
Wishcasting badgeIt's Wishcasting Wednesday so the gorgeous soul Jamie Ridler is inviting us to cast our wishes into the universe and support others' wishes. Today Jamie asks, "How do you wish to be brave?"

I wish to be brave in my spiritual growth. My footing is often unsure in this area. I'm learning to trust and have faith, but that can be a hard thing to do. I'm trying to hear what God wants to tell me and follow His lead.

Writing any mentions of religion in such a public way is epically scary, particularly when I'm still figuring out what I believe.

This is why I wish for bravery. To be brave enough to continue this journey, learn what I need to learn, and, if so inclined, be able to share my experience.

    I can really relate to what you write.
    As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.

My friend gave me this present for Christmas. I had no idea what it was. This is from my first photo shoot with the lens ball.

Settings:

I type my email address into the box and click. Another screen pops up: “Confirm your humanity.” I check a box and it is done. Humanity confirmed. But I wonder what am I doing in my life today to confirm my humanity?

What It’s Really Like to Have Anxiety

“People who need help sometimes look a lot like people who don’t need help.” -Glennon Doyle
I can’t say with any certainty that I am viewed as having it all together. I have, however, been complimented for my ability to remain calm or to calm others. In my days as a project manager, it was a strength often highlighted in my performance reviews. One supervisor actually used to mistake my calm attitude for a lack of understanding the urgency of the issue, until he learned I very much understand the urgency, but can’t address it if I get frantic.

During my application process to become a Hospice volunteer, the coordinator told me after speaking to my three references that she had never seen a single word used so consistently to describe someone. What word is that, I asked. “Calm. Every single person commented on how calm you are.”
