Spring is here. The perfect chance to Begin again. I’m starting a new adventure, one that requires dedication, commitment, and bravery. I’m so glad that Leeana Tankersley book Begin Again: The Brave Practice of Releasing Hurt and Receiving Rest came into my life. I dove into this book with expectations and I was not disappointed. I knew when I chose the word Rebuild to be my focus word that I was asking for a whole lot of construction. It has been overwhelming. Changing habits is not an easy thing for this stubborn lady to do. Yes, I am stubborn and it has been a great asset especially when it comes to scary medical surgeries, trach care, and medical adventures. Yet, somehow stubborness has its downfall too.
There are two chapters in Tankersley book that hit home for me one was on bullying yourself. I have to admit that I do that a lot. I’m the meanest person to myself. I don’t need anyone’s help in that department. And the other chapter is on creating rituals. I don’t have rituals that edify my soul and relationships with God, with myself, or with others in my life. I liked this concept. Taking the time to truly sit and listen to what God has to say is something that I need. I believe we all need this. Sometimes I go through my day half cocked and with no game plan only to sit in front of the TV set or sleep or go on the internet. I’m good at entertaining myself. I need something more than those things. That is something I will be exploring as I create my own rituals.
This is an awesome book and worth the time reading it. It sure opened up my heart and mind to new possibilities in rebuilding.
