Life as a Practice in Prayer

As I write this piece this morning, I realize, it’s taken me years to become this version of myself I see I am today. I also realize it will take me many more years to become the version I seek to be. In that journey, I’ve watched, read, and listened to hundreds of podcasts, books, videos. And I’ve spent thousands of dollars doing that.

In that journey, I’ve watched, read, and listened to hundreds of podcasts, books, videos. From everything I’ve consumed, I learned something. I challenged my beliefs, biases and perceptions. Sometimes to the point of burnout. As I enter another year, I’ve reached a place where I want to share knowledge and maybe add to it, for those of you that read my work.

Created Embodied Practices

In the next two weeks, I’m going to write a how-to series that encompasses embodying spiritual practices that I’ve found to be most helpful to me, and the people I work with. I will tell you now, I am not a guru, no am I promising you radical transformation via my work.

Why? Because what you already need is already within you, and you can excavate that yourself, you don’t need someone to help you. But I will also say, having support along the way (people and practices) helps you develop the skills for self-excavation.
