I’ve always struggled with incertitude and suspect I will until I perish. But faith and doubt seem to have their seasons. . . And yet in my faith drops, I all the same pray and read my Bible. . . I simply do so with more queries. Recently, I’ve been reading a great deal on doubt, because I plan on leading a limited group on the matter in September. Personally, I’ve learned that like misery loves company, doubt loves other doubters. It’s therapeutic. I’ve read both Rachel Held Evan’s “Evolving in Monkey Town” where she had a faith crisis — mostly born out of her fundamentalist mindset.

I’ve been a single mom since my son was 2, worked as a realtor..burnt myself out in the market crash(no longer doing) but I always took time to smell the flowers because my main focus was raising and loving my son. It was the best focus and gift I could give myself. Sure I could have made more money at certain points in my life..but I wouldn’t have had the time to enjoy my most precious gift – my son. Now he is almost an adult..so it was worth it, more than millions. I don’t really care about being superwoman. I just want peace.

Very true, very well-written, and a very necessary read. Thank you for writing this. As a Black Latina, I get it from both communities, so I relate to this all too well.

She is stunningly gorgeous. I went to her wedding and you should’ve seen her in her size 16 form fitting dress. Unbelievable. The mainstream US mindset around health, wellness and women’s bodies is really hypocritical and unrealistic. Who’d want to hang out with someone who never eats? Lol…

Great post. FYI Ashley is a size 16. She’s my neighbor and I just shared the link to this blog post with her because I thought she might want to respond/comment.
