My personal Substack

An M.Div. with 20 years in world religions discusses the divine feminine, contemplative practices, and the intersection of faith and culture helps keep your feet on the ground, explore new areas of richness, and broaden your practice.

Not your typical "religious" content and very worth reading regardless of what spiritual path if any you follow.

The Purse

By Lindsey Stanberry

Talking about money, motherhood, careers, and all that good stuff. From the founding editor of Refinery29 Money Diaries.

Are you secretly nosy? Do you find other people’s money choices fascinating? Or maybe you’re a better person than I am (likely true) and you just want to learn more from others. Either way, The Purse is great.

Small Deeds Done

By Michele Hornish

I'm a recovering lawyer, policy wonk, political strategist, and the Executive Director of Every State Blue. I'm dedicated to making sure Democrats fight everywhere. "Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned." ~Peter Marshall

Most of us only have the power to do small deeds, but if we all do them, they'll equal great deeds. I live in a blue state but a red town and I support anything that strengths blue!
