Act from a place that understands that you need to make an effort and God will bless it and grant you the grace to feel joy.

Enjoy the shadows and rest in the darkness.
Embrace the inertia of emotion and the effort it takes to jostle your heart into feeling.
Engross yourself in traveling out of your comfort zone, through books, and with…
