blogging from brooklyn where i've been loving time with friends here. it is so important to get away, to spend time in this amazing city, to rest and enjoy. someone asked me if 30 feels different, it does somehow, almost as if there is a spiritual shift that comes with the passing into the next decade of my life. conversations with friends i've known for so many years have sparked good questions and new perspectives. i've been reflecting on self in what feels like a healthy kind of awareness. what i know is that i want to move towards more love in my relationships, even as i know my weaknesses and brokenness more fully. it's a gift to be able to work towards maturity in some ways i haven't been ready for in the past, and to feel the joy of angels celebrating with me all those unspoken truths.
