The HOW Project

When things feel heavy, it’s always safe to come home to yourself. 🫶🏾
This week, let peace be your anchor. 💖

Laugh!

I am convinced this is how some of our most brutal stories survive, even if they aren’t actually funny. They survive because ensconced in laughter is the only way our bodies can bear them.

I am purging. I love paper (calendars, books, notepads, scratch paper, traveler's notebooks, Hobonichis, you name it). I love pens, too but that's another story.

I just found these:
My 2020 Daily Planners. Hobonichis.

One planner covers January to June 2020.
The other planner covers July to December 2020.

I'm afraid to open them.

2020. THAT year. Yes.
________

Upon first glance, notice how "used up" the Jan to June 2020 planner is compared to the July to December 2020 planner.

For context: Hobonichi planners get thicker as the year goes by because the thin pages get thicker with "use" (ink, etc).

Memories.

Random Thoight after a beautiful evening with our family:

Sometimes, I get blessed without even asking for "it" in prayer.

My responsibility then: Exercise Proper Stewardship over what I've been GIVEN.🙌🏽

Taking care of aging parents is never easy — and it’s something that a lot of people don’t like to talk about. Caretakers shoulder immense pressures — especially when they are navigating raising children of their own, too. That’s what Craig and I talked about with Seth Rogen and Lauren Rogen on this week’s episode of the podcast. Head over to YouTube to watch the full conversation or listen now to wherever you get your podcasts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyMgU4P2j94&t=155s

These are just some of the pictures from the March 15th conference. If you missed it, that's ok!

We'll be back in Fall 2025 for The HOW Project "Teach In"!

So blessed to receive this mug as a gift from a person (Eddie!) who had no idea that hot tea is a daily healing ritual for me.

Enjoyed my Sunday morning tea, on the day after the March15th conference at St. John Missionary Baptist Church.

No words can express our thanks to this church family led by Bishop Alvin and Lady Dominique Haywood Miller.

Thank you to dietician Lorin Grimsley of Uplift Medical who brought guidance and wisdom to us at St John Missionary Baptist Church in Clarksville!
