I think part of the reason I haven't posted on here is I have too much to say and I can't narrow my thoughts. So instead of not commenting at all I will share all the things I have been thinking about of late and I would welcome comments and insights ... I love dialogue ... maybe that is why I am not a huge fan of the one sided blog.
My list:
1. Mary Magdelene ... her role, importance (or lack there of) in the catholic church
2. Mental health issues amongst women especially depression & anxiety - I would like to think in some cases the anecdotes to these issues are more self-love(ignoring persistant media images) and more girlfriend time, just gabbing. There is a place for medication but I do think maybe talk therapy is just not readily available. I am not sure though.
3. The overall importance of having girlfriends ... I love my girls and I don't think I would be alive or well without them.
4. Eating healthy and by that I don't mean low fat. I mean low chemical. I love my half and half especially if it is organic.
5. Poverty and what it means in the modern world ... Jesus talks a lot about the poor. What is our role in poverty. I am working on detachment from material possessions and minimalism goes hand and hand with that. Should I also feed and clothe the poor and how do I do that?
6. Cancer ... I hate it. I want to prevent it but it seems so overwhelming. I did research this topic for a month straight full time and I still want to know more.
7. Politics. I used to be very political but lately I prefer thinking about effectuating change in non political ways. I have a general mistrust of governments in general ... taught too much history I guess.
8. School systems. what works, what doesn't. So much to change ... I want to start a charter school but I am very overwhelmed by it right now.
Those are the main things I am studying right now other than working for my brother, writing about Nora in her book, and caring for my family.
Weigh in on any of these if you will.
The only other comment is I really wanted to put pics and videos on here but I haven't found the time to figure out how ... my apologies!
