So it begins

Uncategorized

Today I am choosing to lean into something that is difficult for me…that is to write this blog and be willing to share it. You see, for a long time now I have wanted to do this and have chosen not to because of fear and time and my own inner critic. 

But recently I have begun to realize the value of my own voice. While it may not always be right or loud, it does matter. 

So this first post may be brief; but dear reader, if you notice anything at all, please notice that I did it anyway. 

In the days, weeks and years (?) to come, I hope you’ll join me here to have some conversations about things that may be uncomfortable at times. I hope to use this space as a place to integrate my faith, psychology and story. 

Best,

Aundi

For many years now, I’ve loved @dr.thema’s words t For many years now, I’ve loved @dr.thema’s words that remind us that when people get us; when we are seen—it matters. It can change our lives. For me, the most potent parts of @ccfwgr, feel like that. It was a full time, with so many brilliant, creative, and empathic folks in one place. In many ways it was a reparative space for parts of the shadow side of our industry, and I’m grateful for that and to have attended.

I certainly didn’t get nearly enough pictures with everyone I connected with (and I’m sorry for that!), but I’m wildly grateful for the time and space. Thank you @calvinuniversity and @ccfwgr 🫶🏻
Every time we show up for ourselves in the present Every time we show up for ourselves in the present, we’re also offering a bit of healing to our younger selves, too. May it be so.❤️‍🩹🫶🏻

Today in the Christian tradition is Good Friday & Today in the Christian tradition is Good Friday & for trauma survivors in particular, I think of what it means that our God knows what it’s like to exist in a body; an abused body at that.

Jesus could have come in so many ways, but he chose to show us how deeply we are loved by joining us in our humanity.

I’m grateful to @marikoclark for sharing these words a few years ago from theologian James Cone—they’ve lived in my heal anyway folder & I return to them often: 
“There can be no Christian theology that is not identified unreservedly with those who are humiliated and abused. In fact, theology ceases to be a theology of the gospel when it fails to arise out of the community of the oppressed.”
-James Cone

Amen.

Our God, with us. 
Much love this Easter season.
