Abstract No. 3

In the summer of 2006, Anita told me about this artist Chirstopher Hauck. I mean, she told me he was an artist and he lived in Atlanta and that one of the lawyer sin her firm had a painting of his in their office. She also said that he was moving his studios and was [...]

Work equals Play

December 31, 2006

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between her work and her play, her labor and her leisure, her mind and her body, her information and her recreation, her love and her religion.  She hardly knows which is which.  She simply pursues her vision of excellence at whatever she does, [...]

Broken, rotting

A few days ago I broke of of Anita’s favorite bowls. We now have seven, formerly eight, white egg shaped bowls. They are functional and cute, and they came from the Nigella Lawson collection.

I remember the day we bought them. It was the fall of 2005 and we were in Decatur, Georgia, for the first [...]

Who am I?

November 16, 2006 – Anita was seeking to define herself and her future in the weeks after she quit her firm job. She made this list of things she wanted to do and then some things she thought unique about herself.

 

I want to make a comfortable living by working out of my home

I want to [...]

Learn

Anita dreamt up and worked on a large number of business ideas in the last 10 years of her life. She really wanted to own a business (besides her own law firm). When Anita quit her law firm job in 2006, she wasn’t sure what to do, but this idea came to her. A new [...]

Difficult Truth

There’s a funny feeling that comes over you when someone looks you in the eye and reveals a truth about yourself that you had been avoiding for some time.  It’s not anger.  It’s not sadness.  It can’t be denial.  It’s more like a hard, cold, but almost welcome acceptance of a very difficult truth.  And [...]

Epiphanies

            All I can seem to write lately is 2-page epiphanies.  Probably because that’s all I’m having lately.  Two-page epiphanies.

             “No doubt about it.  God loves you.”

             Pointing at the cursor.  “There it is.  It is waiting for you.”

             “To do what?”

             “To write something.”

             I think I like writing epiphanies because I like learning, [...]

The Price of Freedom

“I’m very disappointed in you.”

“I trusted you with this.  I don’t trust people very easily.”

“I don’t know if I’ll ever give you another project again.”

“I work around the clock, too.  And I still get all of the work done.”

            I later finished the draft brief and offered up more assistance over the weekend [...]

Delighted in the Lord

Psalm 37:4 “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”

From Anita’s notes on her computer.

Delighted in the Lord – Desires of your heart

How to be delighted in the Lord?  Remember, it’s all about Him, not about us

Must be willing to commit my life to Him [...]
