daring to disturb the universe: Picks of the Week #2
http://soulvessel.blogspot.com/2014/05/picks-of-week-2.html
Daring to disturb the universe. Friday, May 2. Picks of the Week #2. I read a lot for my job. Tons of great stuff comes across my screen that doesn't really apply to what I do there, so I started sending the articles to myself so I wouldn't lose track of them. This blog series exists because worthwhile stories should be shared. I'll try my best to put these out weekly, and I can definitely promise to make it worth your while. THINGS YOU CANNOT NOT CARE ABOUT. Minimum wage turned down for what. I love fem...

Daring to disturb the universe. Monday, March 17. The simple power of gratitude. Today didn’t start out great. I woke up grumpy. I showered grumpy. I penciled my eyebrows grumpy. (Corrected the smudges grumpy, too.) I squished myself into the train grumpy. Then I sat down at my desk and was grumpy again. I waited for the grumpy to go away. It didn’t. How to heal these big mysteries and insecurities? And then this radical idea, kudos of the Holy Spirit, finally came to me in the form of this wild idea:.

daring to disturb the universe: release and the art of floating
http://soulvessel.blogspot.com/2013/09/release-and-art-of-floating.html
Daring to disturb the universe. Tuesday, September 24. Release and the art of floating. My class looks to me for an answer. I sigh. This is the weird part: you’ve got to tell yourself that you can float. You’re sinking because you feel the weight of your body pulling you down. . but there is no weight. You’re making it up. Whatever weight you feel is weight that you are imagining is there. You are taking that weight onto your body – a weight that does not exist. Do I dare to have this childlike faith?

Daring to disturb the universe. Tuesday, January 21. ALLOW ME TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS IN GIFS. I have a job. I got a sweet internship at a sweet nonprofit! I will learn things and do things and work with great people! I can freaking STOP applying to other jobs! Waitasec, Joanna, you may be thinking. You don't have a job already? No, I did not already have a job. Oh, sweetie honey baby child. Looks like I have to tell you the whole story. This whole job nonsense drove me slowly insane. So, add it up: failu...

Daring to disturb the universe. Thursday, September 4. Goodbye, and hello! Friends, family, subscribers:. In case you missed the memo, I've moved! Not only from NJ to Greensboro, but my blog location as well. Catch it here:. Http:/ jorutter.wordpress.com/. I thought it was time for a fresh start.

daring to disturb the universe: make me broader
http://soulvessel.blogspot.com/2014/03/make-me-broader.html
Daring to disturb the universe. Saturday, March 8. You're going to find joy again.". Relief feels like grace feels like joy. Seriously. I mean, how else would I be able to explain to you what it's like to be showered with undeserved, unexpected, unmerited grace? I began 2014 with the conviction to maximize my circumstances: "if everything around me stayed the same until my life was over, what opportunities would I have wasted, relationships disregarded, moments bypassed? ALMOST. Mostly just delightfu...
