Let It Be Sunday, 200!

Hello my dears!  

Bless up! We’ve made it to another fine Sunday.  Can you believe this marks our 200th edition of Let It Be Sunday!?   It’s the most visited post on my site each week and it fills my heart that we hold this space together. 

I’ve been a bit quiet and still this week, a result of a little bit of a laparoscopic surgery I had early in the week.  I say ‘little bit’ because that’s how I had it situated in my mind, but I’ll tell you what… surgery is surgery and it’s a big deal – if not to my mind then certainly to my body.  The good news is, I’m fine!  This body is doing an amazing job of healing itself.  The other good news is that this week was full of lessons about slowing down and asking for help that my stubborn self is still processing.  This week I am truly thankful for a boyfriend that carried me out of bed and friends who came with flowers and groceries and offerings to just sit with me and make me some oatmeal.  I feel very fortunate even though I’m still running at about half speed and despite the fact that it still hurts to laugh. 

Anyway – how you been?    

Here’s the offering this week, I hope you find a thing or two that inspires you to slow down and share more compassion with yourself and others.  The first three links are very intense but feel important and very human to me: 

•  Inside the story of death and survival as the Carr Fire’s tornado of fire stormed Redding – and changed firefighting in a warming California.  150 Minutes of Hell  (San Francisco Chronicle) 

•  Stepping back from the edge:  My mom’s suicide changed everything.
