Weekly Update | June 27, 2022 (Patreon)

Well, it’s been a week 🫣 When I feel unsettled, I find myself reaching for my phone more. And in doing so, sleeping less. Scrolling is a flag for me that I am feeling overwhelmed and attempting to tap out. What I am truly searching for is some inner peace and scrolling does not in any way help me find this. I know this all too well, but I still fall into these patterns. Oof! Progress starts with the noticing, though, so I’ll take that. Do you catch yourself in habits like this ever? Humaning is hard 😕

Here’s what’s what this week in the WWC:

1. I don’t want to gloss over the big things happening that are creating a lot of tension across all communities, but I also don’t want to add to the angry noise. I will say that I pray we can find ways to recognize the humanity in others even (especially) when we do not agree. I fear the divisiveness permeating our world will only grow and we will forget that we actually all need each other to achieve what I believe most people desire: connection, love, and peace. I do not have the answers nor do I claim to know what is “right” for anyone other than myself, but I do know that hatred and violence only bring destruction, never peace. I pray for us all 🤍
2. No YouTube video again this week. I’m hoping to be back to regular(ish) public posting next week. But again, I just don’t know. It’s hard for me to be on the wider internet right now. I want to be. I just need time periodically to sort out what that looks like in a sustainable way for me at the current moment.
3. Our community video this Friday will be an old school Q&A. I posted one a couple months back on YouTube that was more travel-oriented and thought it might be fun to do a more lifestyle-themed one here. Please leave your questions in a comment to this post if you have anything you’d like me to chat about.

Please know that you are welcome here and I will continue to do all I can to provide a safe and supportive place for us to come together. I am sending out lots of love and virtual hugs to all 🥰

❤️, Jen
