Don’t we all indulge in really, really tempting activities, knowing they might still leave a bruise on our soul, heart, or whatever’s deepest within us?
Obituary-pre-imagining): a great reminder against indulging in poor behavior of any kind. In the absence of printed obituaries, early Benedictine monks kept a skull on their reading desks for the same purpose ("memento mori, Mr. loose-lipped Monk"). And another (more modern) reminder against indulging in poor scatter-shot email behavior: once you tap that SEND button, whatever you wrote to the various cc'ed people (or even to just one friend, for that matter) is bound to remain in the universe forever on someone's hard drive or at least in the (g-d) "cloud." Thanks for the honest humble reminder, Jan!
Thanks, Shirley. I’m trying to offer folks a different prism through which to look before publicly shaming someone. Adding a dash of humor makes it more palatable!
You have such a gentle and humorous way with words that challenge and inspire us to be better. Love.
Oh, thank you, Jane! With love…

“Jan was good at publicly shaming people.” Not.
