Thank you, Allison for sharing all of this and continue to find strength in your words. As info, I saw that Disclaimer ending coming and predicted it in the last penultimate episode. My partner was like, "no way..." I am not bragging about my prediction since the only reason I sensed it is by virtue of watching way too many TV dramas including soap operas throughout my adolescent years (when my parents were too busy to monitor my TV consumption). I thought it ended well. Have a great week ahead!
“Everyday requires us to push the rock of morality up the hill of self-destruction. If we let it slip, it will eventually knock us down to the rocky bottom. Integrity lives best in a well-worn groove of self-respect, transparency, and dignity.” Wow- such deep, intense insight and oh so beautifully written - this prose just sings. Thank you !
I have learned that radical acceptance means I have to let myself feel what I used to dissociate from. It hurts like he'll, but it brings great growth.
I once listened to a podcast with David Frum & he said he’s the only one who reads every New Yorker; I felt let off the hook by his admission. I now read them thru the library.
That Auden quote stabs the heart. I’m in deep grief - so many people chose evil, hatred, dishonesty… a rapist. I’ll never get over it. Thanks for making me feel less alone.
Allison, when I see your Sunday List in my email, I wait to read it, building up a special energy, almost sacred, before I read it. Thank you. You never disappoint in what you share. I love the prayer. I have such deep pain that has no words to express it and that is a healing prayer. Thank you, again. And I'm feeling that you could make art out of every single "Intention for the week to come" quote/prayer/affirmation. Love them. May your week be filled with growth in the highest places.
Thank you Allison. I try to read your Sunday List slowly, so the words and the intentions behind them sink in. Thank you for your honesty, your vulnerability, your wounded courage. Thank you for sharing how you walk through this life. And thank you for the clothes and the food! Sometimes a person needs a great outfit; sometimes cake, or a lovely flower or a divine smell. We live in a sensual world, after all.
And a distressed and distressing world. But reading work like yours is a reminder of the joy of small things in among the consequential. Perhaps the small things are the consequential. Thank you again. Love and gratitude to you all the way from Australia, where it's early summer.
Thank you for all you share. I found this calming to read tonight. You are brave and I wish you everything good.
❤️
Appreciate your Sunday thoughts! Reminds me that we are all going thru something( but yours are more interesting! lol)
My youngest daughter is doing her Graduate program in Museum Studies. An occasional glimpse into your CMHOF work would be welcome.
Hope we all have a better work week and to reorient ourselves towards optimism!
I hurt when you hurt. I hurt for you. JB
I take my New Yorker copies to the Little Library near us. They get picked up real quick and I’m happy to share. Same with the other mags we get.

Your words often help me with my own experiences. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and lovely pictures, Allison. I hope you have a wonderful week💖x

You're right about perspective and perception. I'm still processing what has occurred, so I can't articulate all my thoughts and emotions.
