Reading with Intention During Black History Month!

Last updated on: February 20, 2020 at 1:28 pm By Cara Meredith

If you’ve been around these parts for awhile, you know that I commit to only reading black authors during Black History Month. While this began with a desire to honor and learn from my black brothers and sisters, this particular way of reading with intention has grown into something so much bigger and deeper – really, it’s grown into something that extends far beyond the scope of, well, me. After all, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “We know and... Read more

It’s time again for another Tuesday installment in the guest post series, “Listen, Learn and Listen Some More.” I’m so excited for you to know my new friend, Lynn Domina, who invites us to slow down and listen to those holy hallelujahs. Proceeds from today’s article will go toward Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center. — Lately I’ve been listening to different versions of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” My very favorite is a setting of Psalm 150 by cantor Azi Schwartz to Cohen’s music.

A homily on Luke 2:22-40, given at Trinity Church on February 2, 2020. Enjoy! As I thought about this morning, I kept thinking about the word presentation. Presentation, if we look up the actual definition, means “the giving of something to someone, especially as part of a formal ceremony.” For me, I had to rid my mind of its association with our friends over at Microsoft, for this was and is something so much bigger, so much deeper. I had to stop... Read more

An Invitation to Listen, Learn & Listen Some More

Last updated on: January 6, 2020 at 3:53 pm By Cara Meredith

A couple of nights ago, the four of us sat around the scratched and worn dining room table, a bounty of food before us. A huge bowl of sticky white rice sat beside a stack of nori sheets. Slices of avocado, cucumber and carrots decorated one cutting board, while thinly sliced raw salmon and fresh-from-the-frying-pan tempura shrimp decorated another. A bottle of soy sauce, a jar of sesame seeds and a small bowl of water completed the picture, for this... Read more

Let’s talk about race …with kids: who are you? (3 of 5)

Last updated on: December 18, 2019 at 10:58 am By Cara Meredith

A lot of the work I do is around equipping parents and caregivers to talk to their children about race. Whether these conversations happen on a stage, in a school cafeteria or at a private backyard event, engaging in the conversation “early, often and honestly” is key – for all of us and for all of our children. This is part 3 of a 5-part series based on a series of workshops. — Sometimes I think it’s obvious, but then I... Read more
