Do you remember me?

I did something today that I haven’t done in a long time. 

In fact, I’m doing it right now.

Writing to you. 

I started The Daily Tithe in an effort to use everyday stories to help people become better givers. 

Yet, I can admit, I haven’t always given myself the best. 

It’s been six months since we last spoke. (Happy New Year!) 

I don’t have a good excuse. 

My plate was full and so I took writing to you off. 

Easy decision.

Bad decision. 

Easy because doing emotional work isn’t easy.

Bad because this is my work. 

My work that I shouldn’t put down. 

My work that wouldn’t let me rest until I picked it back up. 

My pen..

“When will you pick me up again?”

“When will you write again?” 

“When will you give to them again?”

They’re looking for you. 

And so here I am. 

Pen in hand.

I’ve surrendered. 

Back to do the hard work.

Back to do the emotional work. 

Back to help people become better givers. 

I am also people.

Thank you for being here when I got back. 

It’s so good to speak with you again. 

See you tomorrow.
