The Work is Now

April 10, 2018

Last week I was driving home after teaching a group fitness class when I heard a voice clearly say: “You are already doing the work you want to do.” I’m not inclined to claim that I have an audible connection to the divine, and I’ll admit my inner critic tends to be loud and disarming.

Cooling the Sting of Disappointment

March 6, 2018

“Always a finalist, never an offer.” The disappointment of making it to the final round but not being selected is tough to stomach.

I have a productivity obsession. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it an addiction, though in describing to a friend how euphoric it feels to check off a bunch of to-dos, he said, “You kind of sound like a junkie.” He may be right. Up until a year ago I didn’t think I had a problem. When I heard experts talk about self-care and meditation and “me” Read More

Lessons Learned in Advocacy and Organizing

June 2, 2015 Leave a Comment

Last week I spoke at the United Methodist Greater New Jersey Annual Conference. The event was hosted by the Conference Commission on Religion and Race, the Conference Board of Church & Society, and the Commission on Christian Unity and Interfaith Relationships. I was asked to speak about how to build ecumenical, diverse teams for justice. Here Read More
