Lent is here.
My project: to enjoy the roll and to accept the gifts of each day with two opens hands.
And God already provided the first opportunities: it's been a particularly challenging week, and I'm heading into a particularly challenging day, which leads into weekend editor duties.
Still, for the moment, I feel at peace, if only somewhat. God keeps inspiring me to tackle more and greater projects, while I shake my head (and stress a lot, too) at how I shall accomplish them. The stress part is a waste of time, as each project always gets done. My time would be better spent performing each task with unhurried methodicalness and keeping a childlike wonder at how God will make it all come together.
Don't laugh,. This truly is my Lenten goal. And today is a good day to start.
First, the non-bylined work: the health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars. Three of them can be found at this link:. http://www.theherald-news.com/lifestyle/
Gotta Do It, runs each Sunday and often stays on the home page throughout the week.
Feature briefs for Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (Arts and Entertainment), and Sunday (People) are also edited (texted and photos) by the lady of this blog, but only the stories have bylines.
Another option: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61. And of course, I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries.
Just an FYI: On free days, holidays, and Sundays I'm not on call, I only post the blog to my "real" Twitter account, as my company insists we do take time off. I'm less reasonable, so unless I'm on a real vacation, I still post to the BryonySeries accounts.
FYI: videos have not been attaching to my Herald-News stories, although they do run for a time on the home page. You may also find them under the "videos" tab.
If you'd like to watch a video, and it's not showing up for you, message me, and I'll manually attach it. No worries for this week, though, although I will have videos for Sunday.
Thank you for reading The Herald-News.
