After a weekend away, I’m merging back into the rhythm of home. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words – the weekend was lovely, the women were kindred spirits, and I didn’t faint or burp or accidentally cuss into the microphone. I would say it was a win-win.
There is something beautiful about having the opportunity to say out loud those things that make you come alive, those beliefs that run deep and shape you from the inside out. I’m thankful for the time I had there and this place I have here–to speak truth, to breathe deep, to make art.
And also? It snowed this morning. It’s almost April. Amen.
Great! So glad it went well!

The thought of you accidentally cussing into the microphone just made me laugh out loud.
Glad it went well!
So glad it went well though sad to hear about the snow. It HAS been long winter and spring is overdue!
I count it such a blessing when I speak or write – to put words to our spiritual journey and know not only does it clarify others but shines light onto our hearts too.
Thanks for sharing this today
Thank you for doing things like this…sharing your fears and facing of fears. You are really encouraging this timid honeybee to fly.

I’m glad you had a good time and the visual of you cussing or burping was too funny. Actually, I accidentally did burp once, but thankfully it was before the microphone was on and I said “fart” one time at a homeschool conference and found out really quickly that is taboo! Glad your speaking experience was much more sophisticated.

Ha! So glad it went well – we can so often be our own worst critic! As for snow – 5 inches here Saturday. our beautiful blooms are all falling off the trees this morning.
But your tulip is gorgeous!!!

Amen!
Aww, I knew it would go well! Happy for you!
And yes, it’s cloudy and drizzly and not spring-break-like in my neck of the woods. BOO.

Emily, it sorta thrills me that I might be the first to post on your blog since the retreat… I was there! And though I didn’t sense that you almost cussed into the microphone, I thought maybe you almost “tee-teeed” in your britches… Oh wait, maybe that was me when you made us all laugh so much!
You were such a pleasure! Thank you for you bold and easy honesty!
You are a blessing!
yay!! So glad to know you enjoyed it! And I did say tee-tee, didn’t I? I forgot about that. Geez.
are all these pictures you put on the blog made by you? this one is fabulous

YOU rocked this weekend and I personally think a burp or a cuss word would have been received with laughter and a sigh of relief from some “good girls gone bad” Well at least from one …me “PINK” Heather! Thanks again for all your honesty and grace. Praying about letting go of those “fear feelings” that i love so much!
I see you went to “She speaks” I was thinkin of going…..fear is in the way:)
Enjoy the last roars of winter!
Emily, I have to be honest.. I didn’t even read your post… I just saw the picture and wanted to say thanks for that… it helps me calm down, before going to sleep

I am so wooed by that photograph. It {almost} makes the snow in nearly-April worth it (and yes, it’s snowing in Nebraska right now).
Thrilled to hear your speaking engagement went well — I can’t wait to hear you in the real-live at Relevant!

Emily, you may not have cussed, but you did say “pot.” Twice.
lol beautiful picture! It’s snowing here too Emily. Love, Traci @ Ordinary Inspirations
Whenever I feel depressed, feeling grateful to be alive, and be with my family makes me happy again =)
