Reflection drawing on Mark 8.31-38 As a child I loved reading although I think got a little frustrated sometimes by the ‘and they all lived happily ever after’ endings as real life didn’t always seem like that. I knew about Jesus from an early age. At Sunday School I listened to stories and sang hymns. Both shaped me. As a teenager I made a more conscious decision to follow a Jesus who talked about taking up a cross, who died a shameful death outside of the city and who was rejected by many of those who had appeared to follow him....

I will do a more general session on shame and supervision at a later date. Early bird discount until 19th March, only 12 places as I want everyone to have time to ask questions if they want to. No small group work.

Stimulating week of teaching on theology for paediatric chaplaincy and Child Theology Movement board meeting. It brought back my ongoing reflections about placing the hospitalised child in an encounter with Jesus.

Reflection day
I led a day for Coventry Diocese Curates yesterday and they all got sent this pack beforehand.
Sometimes it is good to reflect not having the distraction of a screen and all that we can access on it.
We explored where we are, who we are and where we are going and I learnt so much.from their rich reflections.
I love running such days so please get in touch if you are interested. Reflection cards are available to buy at sallynash.co.uk.
Anyone want to guess how I used the Freddo as a reflection tool.

Repurposing
It is Saturday which should be my day off but today I am working, sharing with a group of Curates in a local Diocese. A life giving invitation.
So I made sure I blocked out yesterday as a day off and fortunately Paul was able to take a half day of leave and we walked by water. Water in what was once gravel pits, now repurposed for wildlife and recreation.
I repurposed my days but made sure that I kept a day off as a week without a Sabbath for me means I am not as effective as I can be. I need that mental space to be and renew.
What repurposing do you appreciate?

I have often thought that different parts of my life are in different seasons. I took this picture earlier in the week reflecting on the remaining autumn leaves with the crocuses coming through. It feels hopeful that some of my life is in spring time and that autumn is being left behind, nurturing the new spring life. The seasons are so helpful in enabling me to come to terms with the different ups and downs of life, it is neither always winter or always summer and autumn and spring help me transition between the two....

Five years ago today I picked up the final version of my PhD thesis bound in my choice of colour. It represents 5 years of work but 50 years of thinking about a topic which first grabbed me after an incident at primary school.
Five years on I am still writing, thinking and teaching about shame with individuals and teams in both personal and professional contexts.
Message me if you would like to know more.

Hi Sally, is there anywhere I could read this? It looks fascinating.
There have been some irritating details in my outer life for many months, some caused by lockdown, others by circumstances outside of my control. Evelyn Underhill was a twentieth century English mystic and author who wrote extensively about spiritual practices. I have tried to nurture my inner life over recent months as that increases my resourcefulness and capacity to cope....

Thinking about shame again
I have been asked to contribute a book chapter on shame and am thinking more about how institutions can be shaming places and how we should be honouring not othering.
These are the first books I grabbed from my shelves - anyone recommend others I should be looking at?
I am also looking at dates for some training on shame and supervision - another area I hope to write on if a book gets commissioned!

No book recommendations but been reflecting on both of these things personally and a lot to say! ha ha ha!
It will be interesting to think about how shame is subconsciously promoted in the workplace. An example I saw recently was some missing options in drop down menus regarding sexuality and race. Are subconscious biases informing what excepted norms are?
I would want to add Shame the Power of Caring - from a therapeutic perspective by Gershen Kaufman

Red post box I am making regular trips to the end of our road in the hope that I am reciprocating some of of the joy I have experienced in recent months. I have been so grateful for the cards and gifts that have arrived at different times since September in particular. One of the things I am trying to do in Lent is send one card and one gift each week in the spirit of random acts of kindness and seeing who and what seems right....

So yesterday was Shrove Tuesday and I was involved in a zoom pancake party at church! Sadly Paul was zooming California teaching chaplaincy so I had to cook them myself - definitely not my skill area! And today Lent begins. My picture is a jar of ash, ready for me to ash myself in a zoom service. Another new experience, I always get someone else to ash me and I will miss that this year....
