Just because it’s a new month it doesn’t mean you have to feel new. Maybe you don’t need a whole summer plan yet. Maybe you just need water and one quiet evening.

Some weeks I’m here and engaged and saying things out loud. Others I’m mostly just sitting there with trying not to overthink my entire life.
I think a lot of us are moving in and out of those two versions lately.

That’s kind of how The Table works too.

Some women come every week. Some mostly listen. Some disappear for a bit and show up again three Thursdays later like “hi, life happened.” And nothing essential is missed. You don’t have to keep up here.

You can show up tired. Or quiet. Or halfway through the month. Or with absolutely no idea what to say.
A lot of the time we’re just trying to stay connected to God and our actual lives without making everything harder than it already is.

Anyway, if that sounds like the kind of space you’ve been needing lately, you can start with a Guest Seat and see what it’s like. Just a place to stay near for a while.

I took this picture today at 7:06am, in my room at my parents’ home in Romania while I was preparing for tonight’s Table gathering.

Looking at it now, I realize the gathering had already begun.
Maybe that’s true more often than we think.

I keep thinking clarity is right around the corner. Like maybe next week I’ll suddenly know what I’m doing with my life again. So far… that hasn’t happened.

I’ve been in that strange in-between space lately where something feels like it’s ending, but whatever comes next still feels blurry. And I think part of what makes seasons like this so hard is the pressure to have an answer already. To know what’s next, make a plan, or explain where your life is going.

Meanwhile I’m just over here trying to
remember to drink water, apply sunscreen, and not spiral every time my brain tries to solve the future before lunch.

That’s what I ended up talking about in this week’s episode of Walking Anyway.
Not knowing what comes next. How to come back to what is actually true today and how uncertainty doesn’t automatically mean you’re doing life wrong.

Episode 4 is up now. Walking Anyway is a podcast with small reflections for ordinary life and faith.
If you need something to stay with this week, it’s there.

Yesterday I sent the May letter. There’s always a bit of a special moment after pressing send.
These letters are a little different from the things I share here. They tend to hold the thoughts that arrive after the month has already unfolded -the ones that feel more personal, a little closer to the surface of real life.
It’s become a simple rhythm I’ve come to love: noticing what the past weeks have been teaching me and putting those reflections into words.

On this letter I talk about what I learned this spring. Some of it surprised me and some took longer to recognize than I expected. And a few of the reflections are the kind of things I don’t usually write about anywhere else.

If you’re already part of this small community, the letter should be waiting in your inbox.
And if you’ve ever wondered about these letters, you’re always welcome to join us.

And if you join now, the next letter will simply arrive at the end of this month.

There’s something quietly beautiful about ending a month this way.

By the end of May, many of us start to feel it.
The year has already asked a lot of us.

Decisions we didn’t expect, some conversations that didn’t resolve quickly and perhaps questions that stayed open longer than we hoped.

And somewhere in the middle of all that we realize we’ve been moving quickly for a long time.

Summer begins to appear on the horizon.
And with it, the quiet possibility that life might slow down just enough to notice what has been unfolding.

If the season you’re in right now feels like it deserves more room than you’ve been able to give it, you’re very welcome to visit us at The Table.

This week’s episode begins with the smell of myrrh,
a summer I wanted to escape, and the strange realization that the heaviness came with me anyway.

I talk about what helped me keep living inside that season when I was thirteen, what still helps me now,
and why I no longer think joy and sorrow take turns.

These episodes are becoming a kind of quiet companionship for people trying to stay near their lives, even when parts of those lives still feel unresolved.
And maybe that’s you too lately.

Episode 3 of Walking Anyway is out today. Link in bio🤍

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about The Table lately, so I thought I’d start answering some of them here little by little.

One woman from Toronto asked me recently, “What actually is The Table?”

And honestly, I understand why people ask, because from the outside it can just look like another Zoom community or another online membership. But it’s actually built a little differently than that.

The Table lives on a platform called Circle, so when you join, you log into an actual private space.

And the easiest way to picture it is probably like a house with different rooms.

Some rooms are more public. Some are quieter and more private depending on how deeply someone wants to inhabit the space and what kind of support they need in a particular season.

That’s basically where the different tiers come in.

Inside the space there are written reflections, guided reflections, audio reflections, scripture meditations, gatherings, conversation spaces, and simple practices that people can move through at their own pace.

So it’s less about “keeping up” with a community and more about having a steady rhythm of spiritual formation and companionship woven into ordinary life.

Some people participate a lot. Some people mostly listen quietly, while others come and go depending on what season they’re in. That’s all normal.

I think a lot of us are tired of spaces that feel emotionally demanding or performative or like we have to constantly show up at full capacity.
The Table is built much more around real life than idealized life.

Anyway, that’s probably the simplest way I know to describe it.

Next time, I want to answer a question Hannah from Chicago has asked:

“What if I want something like this, but I don’t have the energy for another Zoom call?”

And if there’s something you’ve been wondering too, you can leave a question in the comments or send it to me privately. I’d genuinely love to hear what people are carrying and wondering about these days.

Yesterday the second episode of Walking Anyway came out.

And I keep thinking about how much of faith is less about finally figuring everything out and more about learning how to stay. Stay with God, inside your actual life and stay through things that still don’t make sense yet.

I think that’s what I’m talking about on the podcast - not answers, just how stay and be a human person in 2026.

If you listened already, I’d genuinely love to hear what stayed with you.
