A comfy chair certainly makes a difference. As does a good view or fireplace. And some soothing beverage.

This is glorious. Books, water, castles, monastery, mead, and a fireplace. Thank you Jesus.

On the first day after my last day of graduate school, I opted for a slow morning—they’re my favorite. While there’s much to be done around our home, I had to remind myself that it could all wait until later. 

My slow morning ritual always begins with coffee. And today, I read some of Franz Wright’s, God’s Silence. 

I then began crafting the hand-written letter pictured above, addressed with April 29, 2013 on the envelope. A dear friend is traveling alone on a pilgrimage to Iona and asked if I’d write words for her to open and read on the aforementioned date. She’s an intentional person, not just for others, but for her self as well, and I like that. Not many souls know how to care for themselves. But my friend does. And she’s not afraid to ask for help in caring for herself well. 

Friend, thank you for allowing me to offer a bit of care for you through my words. I pray this pilgrimage will be just what your soul needs.

I have amazing & beautiful friends.

This might be my heaven
