“I had no strong desire to be a mum. Now that I am one to two boys, I can’t imagine anything else.”

@JustineToh @cpx_tweet with a fascinating angle on little known, important story (that has implications for today)
These wowser women aren’t obvious feminist heroes. But their rallying cry rings through the ages smh.com.au/national/these-wo…
When I wake up, my fingers inch towards my phone. The pull of the feed is just too strong. In @GuardianAus, with help from C.S. Lewis, St Teresa of Avila, Rowan Williams and some "wild animals", I wonder if prayer is one step towards reclaiming attention bit.ly/3CwYvp3
The other night Tim Winton said “Hope is a discipline” in the face of the climate crisis.
Just saw a quote from grieving Oatlands dad Danny Abdallah: “forgiveness is a muscle. You need to keep building it”.
Hope and forgiveness seem puny but maybe both are mighty strong

We are so excited about this episode. The profound @ESOldfield joined @JustineToh on Life & Faith to talk about her new book, Fully Alive. This passionate and heart-aching conversation is worth every minute. Listen here: buff.ly/3XdDDeB

In a world rushing at breakneck speed, @justinetoh reflects on the value of stepping off the treadmill and embracing a slower pace. An excellent read ahead of this coming weekend's #WalkTheTalk here in Geneva. bit.ly/3QTpG1u

My need to hurry, then, is partly why I have an issue with walking. It’s half a stage of life thing: as a full-time working parent of primary-aged children, I belong to that cohort who reports feeling always or often rushed for time.

Should have mentioned Voldemort, also hoping to flee death
@JustineToh writes for Eureka Street: "But if ‘God is dead’, as the philosopher Nietzsche declared, #Easter Saturday is our existential condition. We spend our days suspended between our regrets and fears, and wild hopes." But what if God weren't dead? bit.ly/3xdEEs
Dear @MumbyatMovies where were you when I was battling away jokes about Pastafarians in the comment section under the piece? When I was forced to concede that my Lenten ignorance was entirely due to the fact that I was, in fact, *gulp* a Protestant? 😂Thanks for the shoutout😉
"This is what #Lent is: a chance to willingly embrace discomfort for a greater outcome."
Good stuff here from @JustineToh theguardian.com/commentisfre… #Christianity #Easter #Easter2024
I embrace my inner Gentle Troll 🧌 in the comment section of @GuardianAus for my piece on Lent, which can be read here bit.ly/49sccBe

Lent for Dummies - of which @JustineToh is no 1. Listen in as Dr Matthew Tan (@AsianTheologian) schools her in everything Lent for this week's Life & Faith. Listen here: buff.ly/49sKlB2
Too time-poor to have fun✅
Chasing outcomes 99.9% of the time✅
Exhaustion & anger permanently simmering under the surface at all the adulting ✅
Grateful for @OfficialBlueyTV that teaches us how to play again. Loved Max Jeganathan's piece @cpx_tweet: ab.co/3O8O0eG

Still easing into the work year here, but my colleagues are off and running. @JustineToh has a sharp smart piece about sibling rivalry - ancient and modern - in @GuardianAus here: bit.ly/48Wtaaj
Cain and Abel, the oldest story of sibling rivalry, is also the first murder. Weird huh?
"There’s a reason we keep returning to stories where insecurity abounds, the anger is bitter, the shame an enveloping storm: sibling rivalry apparently runs deep in the human soul."
