the wide tent

sing, o barren one who did not bear; burst into song and shout, you who have not been in labor! for the children of the desolate woman will be more than the children of her that is married, says the lord. enlarge the site of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. for you will spread out to the right and to the left... and your decendants will settle the desolate towns. isaiah 54:1-3

the three best things

the three best things i've ever done for myself, excluding personal relationships that are just too obvious (i.e. relationships with spouse, children, other family, friends, god):

1. run the philadelphia half-marathon (i also ran the philadelphia marathon a couple of months later, but it was not nearly as exhilerating);

2. walk away from a job/career that i was good at and which paid an obscene amount of money, because it did not feed my soul;

3. breastfeed micah.

and you?

1. Therapy.
2. Write anyway.
3. Concretely decided to like myself.
