Brief Pause on New Content

-

Dear Followers,

I am going to be taking a little break from publishing new content.  I'm trying to take my advice about slowing down - Why Slowing Down Can Boost Your Happiness

As I mentioned in Open and Honest Life Update, I am experiencing issues with my shoulders.  I am not a doctor but I am seeing a physical therapist for an evaluation but I suspect overtraining. All I know is that even basic tasks like washing my hair hurt. Pending the results of my PT evaluation, I don't expect to stop Crossfit, rather, I expect to be further scaling workouts and perhaps an extended pause on the extra credit work that I have been doing.

If you follow Santini Serenity on Facebook, you will see that I am sharing content from other content creators I've met in the space. I am really enjoying the content from Brave Girl.

I appreciate all of my readers and thank you in advance for your patience while I take a brief pause.

God Bless,

Jodi

The Proverbs 31 Woman: A Model of Strength, Virtue, and Value

-

Proverbs 31 speaks to women across generations. Its verses portray a powerful image of a woman who embodies strength, virtue, and worth. These traits are not just ancient ideals; they resonate deeply in today’s world, where women strive for excellence in various aspects of life. Proverbs 31:10-11 reads: "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value." This passage is part of a broader section that extols the qualities of a virtuous woman. It provides profound insights not just for women, but for everyone seeking to understand true character and value. I have tried to live a life like that of a Proverbs 31 woman.  Have I always been successful?  No, especially during my period of active alcoholism where no one could depend on me. Sobriety has allowed me to be more dependable and reliable.  The COVID Pandemic allowed many, but not all, to work remotely.  For roughly two year...

Getting to Know Me: The Story Behind This Blog

I call this Santini Serenity as Serenity is always my goal. However, Serenity is not always easy.    I find myself at a crossroads in life. I've been with The Ohio State University for almost 30 years but I have to work roughly 8.5 more years before I can retire. My job is currently hybrid where I work at home 3 days and go into the office for 2 days. I keep my office time brief when I do go in. My husband's job might require him to travel more in addition to all of his scout related trips. It's hard to manage a household when you're not home so I've been looking for exclusively remote jobs. Patience is a virtue. I'm naturally impatient which is great for managing projects because the project generally stays on track. However, God is the ultimate project manager with his own timelines and I struggle not knowing what his will is for me in my life. As part of my goal to work remotely and retire, I began doing surveys in my spare time.  Thank you for stoppin...

Ever felt stuck on something? Maybe it is an old hurt or a bad memory? Holding on can be like carrying a heavy weight. It slows you down and makes life harder. There is a better way.  A more peaceful way. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27). "Bless and release" is a way to let go with love. It is about freeing yourself. This simple practice boosts how you feel, helps you grow, and brings more joy to your life.  A friend of mine posted about this recently on Facebook so I decided to explore the concept. Understanding the Concept of Bless and Release Bless and release comes from some big ideas. It is linked to the power of your mind. It combines ideas from psychology and spirituality. The aim? To help you make peace with your past. Also, to free you to move forward. The Power of Acceptance First, you have to accept what is. This is super important before ...
