Another Sunday w/our faith community. Fills my soul the way we’ve grown in faith + connection. Stories of our lives we’ve shared, questions we wrestle with + encouragement to keep showing up for those around us. Love the way this grp of 💛’s that felt spiritually orphaned found a home w/each-other.

When we're continually striving—always looking for the next goal, the next improvement, the next version of ourselves—we can forget to take a breath. And when we don't rest, we don't just potentially stall progress; we risk actually losing it.

Last month went to my first Episcopalian service and today went to my first Anglican service. I’m greatly enjoying experiencing different forms of celebration.

My Pastor this morning: “We need to act in the WAY of Jesus instead of only the NAME of Jesus.” I think she’s on to something! #localchurch

Watched the movie The Six Triple Eight movie on Netflix a second time. Kerry Washington … 😭 These stories matter.

Seeing all these organizations and CEO’s changing their minds on policies and programs they put in place after the murder of George Floyd is a reminder that the bottom line is usually money and power. The next time they try to lure us in with “we’re for you” let’s not forget how quickly they turn.

We would not know Bishop Marianne Budde if the church did not ordain women or gay folk. Consider the prophets your church has discarded. #Narthex

I can feel my whole body grieving some very challenging conversations right now. Women like Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde are the brave souls we need right now! Her courage, strength and voice has encouraged me and compelled me to keep speaking up.

Sometimes, it’s the small, consistent actions that bring the most lasting transformation. And rather than pressuring yourself to do everything at once, you give yourself permission to take one step at a time, trusting that the journey is as important as the destination. renderosbrenda.substack.com

It’s been a family tradition the almost 25 years to eat seafood at San Pedro port and visit a few stops in the area. Some of these are those we knew before they were married or had kids. I felt old and young at the same time in a beautiful way! This journey of life showed goodness today 🥰

Can hope be cruel? I’ve heard it said it can be. Can you walk away from hope without walking away from Hope? What does it look like to shift from “HOPE in Christ” to “hope in CHRIST”? This is what’s running circles in my mind as I’m staring out my hotel window at the Mississippi River.

Back in New Orleans and can’t decide if I walk the French Quarter today or do some writing at the rooftop courtyard of the hotel. Currently “stuck” in a comfy chair and lovely bathrobe 😆

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

We want the throne of power. God arrives in a manger. We want generals. Angels call shepherds. We want religious uniformity. Magi come. We want political uniformity. Foreign kings gather. We want a warrior prince. Jesus comes as the prince of peace.

Been watching the series Lost and I’m wondering why I never watched it when it was out. This show is bonkers! #Lost

Just watched the Wicked Musical. Everything was absolutely amazing! I can’t help but wonder how many will see the story within the story 🤔 “The best way to unite people is to give them an enemy.” Let’s just sit with that for a moment 😑

The last few years we’ve changed the Thanksgiving taught to us in elementary school to a Thanksgiving table representing our family ethnic diversity as we celebrate the resilience of our ancestors! A day of remembrance + honoring those who endured, those persevering and hope for the future.

Been 15 years since our last LA Auto Show visit. Fun going back ◡̈ Crazy seeing my car (Ioniq) as a race car! Loved the Jeep ride-along experience. And I’m pretty sure I found my dream retirement car… VW ID Buzz. Well, we’ll see in about 10 years 😆 #LAautoShow

I’m exhausted and I have no idea why! Ever say that before? Energy Zappers can leave you feeling fatigued, unmotivated, or just annoyed. They suck the life out of creativity and in the worst cases, they rob hope. Let’s Chat! open.substack.com/pub/renderos...

Dude! We were not built for 24/7 Breaking News! Stepped away for a month. Been back about a week and I’m feeling it in my gut. Time to set some serious news boundaries.

Remembering zoom life and meetings 🤪 Brief rain in SoCal. Had to coax cat indoors because he’s a cat that actually likes being in the rain. Gerson and I headed to see the movie Gran Turismo 🏎️
