What I am For

"To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against." Christina Baldwin

I am for:

• fabulous weekends
• listening to voices that are often unheard
• dancing at concerts (even if no one else is)
• dancing in general
• warm sweaters
  
• IJM (specifically the upcoming benefit dinner)
  
• good music
  
• talking to cute strangers on the bus
• sleep
• green tea
• fair trade - everything
• all people earning a living wage
• creative decorating
• hospitality
  
• budgeting
• eating real food
• running
• red wine
• education
• daily bread - and gratitude for enough
• healing
• reconciliation
  
• equal rights
• Polaroid cameras
  
• film cameras in general
• paint
• recycled/found object art
• brunch with friends
• the expanding programs at my work
• jobs
• The SOLD Project
• SAGE
• faith
• asking questions
• doubt
• vintage jewelry
  
• being still - or at least trying
• over booking myself - and admitting it
• responsible fashion
  
• international travel
• good theology
• taking risks
• believing in change - and knowing that it takes time

I am pretty sure the list is much much longer.
