What is The Mudroom? October 26, 2016. Bull; 1 Comment. Amy sat with me on my screened porch at the lake, listening the way only a woman who has spent thirty years as a cloistered nun in a monastery, then three more years training to be a therapist, can listen. You have compassion fatigue, she said. I asked. There’s an actual name for this? It’s not just that I can’t manage my time and relationships well? I feel a little slammed. Isn’t that an oxymoron? Then my role is Julie, the Cruise Director. Amy ask...

What is The Mudroom? When Compassion is Exhausting. October 10, 2016. Bull; 2 Comments. The first year of giving a crap, that’s the exciting one. For me, it was back in 2009 and Twitter was a twinkly new toy and. Was a new buzzword and everyone had a birthday campaign. This year for my birthday,. All I want is clean water for a village,. All I want is malaria meds for children is Sub-Saharan Africa,. All I want is to rescue a girl from sex-trafficking. We could Save People! After seven years of working i...

What is The Mudroom? True Confessions of a Like oholic. August 14, 2015. Bull; 45 Comments. I’ve never smoked crack, shot heroin or drank alcohol, but I have an addiction. Out of nowhere, it snuck up on me. Like the abrupt discovery of a fast-moving cancer, I realized, Houston, we got a problem. Honestly, it was sheer bliss living in my cave next door to the Flintstones. Who cared if the rest of the world tweeted, texted, or shared cyber messages across America? Did I get any comments today? Yes I got a ...

What is The Mudroom? Social Justice is a Pot of Spaghetti Sauce. October 12, 2016. Bull; 6 Comments. I didn’t want to write a post on social justice. It feels fake sitting on my couch in my largely white, affluent, suburban neighborhood. What do I have to say? As a white woman, I feel like my steps at connection across lines even on Facebook feel privileged, bumbling, and awkward. Justice cannot be a platform. Justice flows from the heart of God. What did I have to offer? Nothing, rang out loud and clear.

My Country Manse: August 2013
http://mycountrymanse.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 4 August 2013. There are few things I love as much as a good story. And maybe that's why I studied history and literature in university. And maybe that's why I find my faith community most fully in a place where wise eyes and wrinkles outnumber diaper bags and days to come. In the early months of this year, my story couldn't spill out the tips of my fingers and on to this screen fast enough. It had laid dormant for so long, I guess. Too long. But if I'm honest, somedays I feel like my armour real...

My Country Manse: The Recipe Box: Strawberry Freezer Jam
http://mycountrymanse.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-recipe-box-strawberry-freezer-jam.html
Tuesday, 25 June 2013. The Recipe Box: Strawberry Freezer Jam. Strawberry freezer jam always reminds me of my Nana. The way she would ladle it heavy on the buttered white toast and it would run all red and sweet like a ruby river, threatening to spill off the edge of the crust and on to the white and navy Corelle plate. And in every crunchy piece swallowed down with a big gulp of orange juice was a little bit of summer's promise and a little bit of. Her, nourishing not just my body but my soul. Because t...
