On Making Room for Grief to Interrupt

September 22, 2021 by Charlotte Donlon in Notes & Musings

Clarifying Our Callings and How I Created a Corner of My Own

May 01, 2021 by Charlotte Donlon

In this post which was originally shared via an email for my newsletter subscribers, I share why it’s good to focus on the foundations of vocational callings, include a visual diagram that can help you clarify your vocational callings, provide a few ideas for creating a writing corner, and ask for a favor. I hope reading this will provide some ideas that will help you in your faith and your creative work and/or lead you to other ideas that might be helpful.

Six of the Books I Wrote About in The Great Belonging: How Loneliness Leads Us to Each Other

January 04, 2021 by Charlotte Donlon

Sometimes we can feel very alone in our vocations, faith, and the full spectrum of emotions we experience during various seasons of life. Books and reading help soften the ache of our isolation and broaden our understanding of the things of our hearts, minds, souls, and bodies.

I'm so thankful for all of the books and writers and artists who have mentored me and taught me through their words and work. It was a delight to include some of their writing in The Great Belonging.

On Longing for More Prayer and Stillness and Silence

August 30, 2020 by Charlotte Donlon

When our world turns upside down and spins so fast that we can’t give our attention to the present moment, it’s time to pause. When we notice we’re grasping and living as functional atheists thinking everything is up to us—our vocations, our creative endeavors, our ministries, our movement toward health and wholeness—it’s time to pause.
