That is great news!
You've been doing some heavy lifting since the Dobbs decision to protect women's health in your state.
Glad to see that you're receiving the support you need to carry on this important work.

Yes, but knowing phonics at least gives someone a way into a word they've never seen before.
As a voracious child reader in the pre-Internet age, there were many words that I mispronounced until I heard an adult actually say them out loud.
But they weren't stumbling blocks.

The best thing to have is enough.
I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

Peace be with you.

Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be.
Give Our Lord the benefit of believing that His hand is leading you.
And accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.”

And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.

We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.

Here is something I turn to from Teilhard de Chardin:
“Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.

I don’t know if you will find a way to finish your program now or later, or if it will lead to the future you dream of, or something completely different.
When I read your posts, I see a person with heart, soul, spirit, Beloved of God, fellow pilgrim.
How could such a person waste our time?

No . . . just personal taste.
I like some Praise & Worship music and have a Spotify playlist with my favorites, but I can't really pray with it, as it doesn't invite stillness. It's more "singing in the shower" music.
