A Year of Delight: Gratitude

Last updated on: January 6, 2016 at 9:19 pm By Osheta Moore

I’ve decided that if I’m going to follow Father Gregory Boyle’s advice on Delight, to “delight in what’s right in front” of me, then I better start noticing those things. Those everyday, mundane, average things. Which I think, is a concept we affirm, right? We all want to start noticing the big and little things in our lives. This is why Ann Voskamps’s “1000 gifts” resonated with many of us. We want to be reminded to be grateful. We want tour guides... Read more

A Year of Delight

Last updated on: December 21, 2015 at 10:20 am By Osheta Moore

“You don’t really get Jesus saying very often there’ll be pie in the sky when you die. He’s really talking about now and today, and it’s supposed to be like that. You’re supposed to delight in what’s right in front of you.” Greg Boyle Happy New Year, my friends! So funny story: When I came across this quote for my 2016 OneWord365, I was munching tortilla chips from Homeboy Industries, listening to M.I.A, and sipping on a... Read more

Kid-Approved Posts

Last updated on: December 20, 2015 at 11:12 pm By Osheta Moore

When I started blogging five years ago, my kiddos were littles, 8, 5, and 4, to be exact. Their stories were all cuteness and adorable antidotes. As they grew older—they’re now 13, 10, and 9— my stories about motherhood have became more complex as I help them process race, faith, social faux pas, and complicated family dynamics. My best inspiration comes from my mothering, so I want to give my kids a new level of ownership of the stories on... Read more
