A few weeks ago, I told you about the Enneagram class I took and showed you this graphic: There’s a lot of silly stuff people post with regards to the Enneagram, but I thought this one was kind of fun. Each of the numbers are described in terms of adjectives, animals, biblical characters and for… Read More Enneagram, Part 2: Getting cozy with our Shadow
I’m working on something that’s not quite up to my typical blogging standards (Read: lazy and haven’t finished it yet), so here’s a quickie. Consider it a footnote to last week’s weather post. There’s a row of maple trees that line the street between the convent where I work and the hospital where I don’t… Read More Weather Post, Part 2
As I write this, it’s morning on October 2. Our heat is on, the fireplace as well – it’s gas, merely a click and we’re cozy. I’m sitting with a cup of hot tea and a cat curled up at my side. The candle I have burning is called “Hickory Hearth.” I open with that… Read More Whether we complain about it or not, it’s just weather
Those of you who’ve been following this site for a while might remember a post where I mentioned I was receiving another woman’s emails. A woman with the same name, same spelling, and same preference for lackluster email addresses. She lived in Texas. Do you remember that? Funny. I didn’t. You see, last week I… Read More Third party marketers should learn to spell
Last Tuesday, sometime in the late afternoon, the Feeding on Folly site went down. A light within the blogging universe was extinguished. Did you sense it? Alas, it was a dark day, my friends. A dark three days, to be exact. Our Feeding on Folly Lady was not seen again until late Friday evening, when… Read More Like a phoenix, we rise from the ashes! aka: surviving blog failure
Oh, HELLO THERE! After my last post… let’s see… when was that again? … *checks notes*… oh geez, was it really over two weeks ago? Ah man, I’m sorry about that! I know I promised I’d post about my Enneagram class the very next week and… *checks notes again*… okay, wait, I didn’t really promise… Read More On the Enneagram, self-doubt, and the comfort we find in hiding under our desk
For those of you new to this neck of the woods, we’re covering some classes we took at a “Synod School” first talked about here. In last week’s episode, we told you about our birdwatching class. This week we tackle the Letter from the Birmingham Jail. Quite the change-up, don’t you think? I warn you,… Read More Doing the Right Thing – Presby-style
This week we continue the tale of our Iowa Synod School trip (click here for last week’s entry). Quick recap for those too lazy to click the link: Two weeks ago, I and 639 other Presbyterians attended a Synod School in Storm Lake, Iowa. I took four classes, one of which was a birding class… Read More Birding with birdbrains and a stiff neck
Originally posted on Mitch Teemley:
Three mass shootings in a week. El Paso, Texas, Gilroy, California, and now Dayton, Ohio, where many of my friends live (none were present at the shooting). Actually, America averages more than one mass shooting a day; these three simply made it to the front page due to their larger-than-usual…
