Today I’ve decided that until the end of July I should just be…
Not try to figure out what is next….not connect with people for a new job…not make any money…just be. I can’t say that I am doing too well with this goal. I’ve already checked the craigslist jobs twice today.
I wonder why I avoid being? I’m always planning for the future…making little timelines…making lists…weighing the pros and cons of various scenarios…going on Expedia to plan trips I will never take.
Yesterday Katie and I were hanging out and I went outside and just laid in the grass. It was a lovely moment. Time stood still. The sun felt warm on my face. My body relaxed into the earth. In that moment of stillness, God’s presence surrounded me.
Be still and know that I am God.

About Me
- lisa carlton
- Hmmm...Who am I? let's see the facts first. I'm 48 years old, married to my high school sweet heart, Bob. I I'm a mess most of the time, but everyone always thinks I really have it together. I love to listen to people and hear their stories. Art and writing are my spiritual practices. I deeply believe in god and that god is love. My theology is wide and constantly changing. When I was 18 I wrote out 4 pages single spaced on spiritual questions I had about life. I'm not sure I've answered any of them.
