Acedia and Me....
I am reading a great book by Kathleen Norris called Acedia and Me: A Marriage, Monks, and a Writer's Life. It is pretty amazing and I want to try to process it, so I am going to be posting some of my favorite quotes.
Over the past year or so I have been learning more about our changing planet. I have become more and more passionate that as a follower of Jesus I should not only say that I love God's Creation, but that I should be proactive in trying to be more conscience of the ways that I am contributing to climate change and the destruction of God's Creation and not only being conscience of it, but doing something about it. And as a wife and mother of two, I have felt overwhelmed by the task of being more environmentally conscience. So, I have dedicated this blog to writing down little things, and maybe big things, that I will try to be doing to help reduce my carbon footprint and help reduce my consumerism. Why is this so important? Well, I am not great at explaining and articulating my views and beliefs so I will post the books and things that have brought me to the point of realizing how important this all is.
