Here's an opportunity to be affirmed for your current thought, whatever is on your heart.

On her social media page, Erika has a Non-shouty, Whisper Thursday post each week. This is an invitation for her page followers to share whatever is on their minds without bells and whistles – no caps, no gifs, just simple words.

The result is a beautiful exchange of support, affirmation, and the creation of community. I thought it would be worth a try here.

We all have things going on in our lives. Share here whatever you want – from silliness to sadness and all points in between. Everyone needs a bit of affirmation now and then. Here’s your chance.

I’ll start us off with my own comment. Continue on from there.

  1. I am trying to figure out how to make grain-free, dairy-free, sugar-free eclairs because my tradition is to remember my mother by baking something she liked. Now I have to make a lot of substitutions. This will be an adventure for sure.

  2. I’m super excited to have chickens that are giving me eggs everyday and that the rhubarb is ready. I have both eggs and rhubarb in my fridge.

  3. While driving in the countryside in Wisconsin, Darcy and I marveled at the daffodils sporadically popping up here and there. On the side of the road, by a pond, in a plowed field. We wondered how they got there!

  4. Mars pulled away from the Sun’s gravitational force this past Thursday, balancing the axis of this red rock of a planet. Can the change of mood & life circumstances really be affected by the appearance of a wack-out orbiting planet?
