People Keeping
I was introduced to the term “people keeping” a while back and it has intrigued me. It’s an idea that I can’t shake loose. I find myself holding on to it like a dog who won’t drop a ball, or like a child with candy in its grip. But it’s also something that I can’t quite discern, a bit ethereal.
Value
I read a quote from a fellow hope*writer this week. Krystyn Denooyer posted, “In our singleness, we are not our usefulness.” This sentence rang so true to me. I sometimes feel that I am not seen for who I am but for what I can do.
