Hey! Welcome back to our weekly coffee date! Remember how we were talking about acceptance as a first step to discovering the purpose and meaning of us being here (aka that place we never thought we’d be, whether physical or metaphorical)? Well, I’ve been thinking a lot this week about what I consider to be step two: surrender.
I’m a list person. I like my to-do lists; I like my step-by-step instructions. And I really like completing things. Which is probably a lot of the reason why here (see last week’s content for the definition of “here”) often feels so frustrating: because this isn’t the final destination. We haven’t completed anything.
Hi friend. How are you? What’s going on in your world? I really want to know. But before we begin, I should probably take a sec to let you know my preferred method of communication: in-person and in-depth. I was not built for small talk, so even though we aren’t sitting down face-to-face, having this conversation over a really good dark roast in the upper room of an ironically un-trendy cafe, I am absolutely pretending that we are.
