Well, all I can say is that anonymity sounds really awesome, but it does have its own challenges. I’m not saying it’s not easier (I don’t yet have the comparison to even say such a thing), but it’s been more than simply not revealing my name — it’s taken some effort to go this route. And while there’s a part of me that feels nervous about revelation, another part anticipates it will be a relief. But we’ll see…

Blessings, Erik!

I just threw myself out there. Some days I wish I hadn’t. Give that one some thought. Not really much choice if you start speaking more. I am still avoiding that one. Not sure folks are ready to see that I am not pretending to be as coarse and confrontational as I sound in my writing. This ain’t an act.
Loving the blog. Keep it up.
Thanks.

Thanks! But I’m also thinking my deadlines will stick better when I take a few more things off my plate, including cleaning my own house. It’s been hard for me to make that decision, but when a couple of my important deadlines whoosh by, I think it’s time to take stock and see what I can give up or delegate to others.

Maybe you don’t have the kind of problem with setting deadlines for yourself and then completely ignoring them that I do, but my trick is to get someone else to hold me accountable. So give somebody (Spock mabye?), like $20 that they can only return to you if you meet your deadline. Now you’ve got something really on the line if you slip.

I remember the first time that I advertised at my church that I was teaching a class on sex. Even though close friends knew, it was in many ways a surreal experience to hang fliers in the women’s bathroom and let everyone know . I felt like I walking around naked all day, and thankfully a friend prayed for me, I still struggle at times, thinking that others are uncomfortable around me, but really, everyone has been enormously supportive.

1. Do something about Porn – I think we all need to be part of the solution. We need to equip everyone to understand what it is, what it is not, what it does and how to help others so that we can get out of the closet and into the light. My thoughts are trying to get my church to teach on it so that when someone deals with it with their kid, spouse, grandchild, friend, or self, they will know how to react and point towards help and support. The other thing I’ve been thinking about doing is trying to create some kind of forum to have an honest discussion of what helps and what doesn’t
2. Talk to 3 churches this year to see if they would consider offering my 6 week Awaken love class.
3. Visit 1 National Park this year with my husband to start our journey of trying to visit all of the National Parks together.
4. Show my faith more authentically to my grown kids.
5. Love my extended family that lives in another state better.
6. Try to incorporate some role playing into my marriage bed, just for fun and because I’ve never done anything like that before.

Thanks for all that you do
