Hello, Friend!
It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, I like to start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world and share them with you. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing in the world right now. Some are beautiful and promising, reassuring me that everything is going to be okay. Some are poignant and thought-provoking, calling me to pay attention to the unheard. All of them add to my greater knowing of God’s presence in this world, within our humanity, and way out there beyond the beyond. And they all prove there’s an abundance of spectacular, breathtaking, tangible and intangible, cosmic matter between us.
Please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.
Blessings,
Marcie

The noble and good that I see is the beauty and strength in Simone Biles saying, “I’m out. I’m protecting myself”. I am 47 years old and am only now able to protect my own boundaries with the same fierceness. When I was Simone’s age, I didn’t know I was worth the battle. The holding of the boundary. So for me, this is a noble and beautiful thing I am currently seeing and enjoying.
