We had another book team check in this morning, so there's a screenshot of me on Zoom, because it's tradition now that I record these meetings thus. Why do I want to record them? Because this has so far been one of the most creatively challenging and spiritually nourishing work experiences of my life, a true labor of love for all involved, despite the labor involved. So much more work to do on this project, all the steps to be accomplished, including the tedious ones, like formatting endnotes and checking facts and getting permissions for things, but when love infuses an endeavor, nothing feels quite as arduous as it otherwise might. Thank you God, or thank you Love—they’re one and the same to me.
"Thank you God, or thank you Love—they’re one and the same to me."
ReplyDeleteTears of gratitude welled up as I read all of your post just now, experiencing the mysterious healing power of words on my entire being.
Looking forward to reading the book-in-progress.
I, too, am looking forward to reading the final. Footnotes and all. I love to read footnotes. Crazy, eh.
ReplyDeleteYour pop of turquoise this afternoon is an antidote to a gray old day out here. Love it.
Beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's been fulfilling!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! As my line of work is a bit similar I can well imagine the tedious aspects. Collating references is the bane of my existence some days. Also, you look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again, you beautiful soul!
