Thank you. This was so helpful. Practicing the Examin has always been challenging for me, but the Rummaging for God article made me see it in a different light. I believe I can now make this a daily practice. I really enjoy your posts - I find something I can take to heart and use every time.
Imagine my bolstered excitement, having used your newsletter to improve my writing over the years, to have published a piece yesterday on paying attention, contemplative prayer, and using the season as metaphor! I’ve learned a lot...not only from implementing your tips, but also from reading your writing. Please know I’m grateful - your work has mattered and made a difference in this direction.

The "Examen" - this is new to me, and so, so beautiful. Thank you.
I like to start my time with God with a nice, "Hi, God," too :)
