You don’t need Amazon to buy my book 😬

In life, those who share in your tallest mountain tops and lowest valleys are those whom we call friends. Living those experiences are sure to sort out your friends for you. Publishing a book and a family member’s death are two of those things. Let me tell you what a month it has been.

@ruffledbygrace.bsky.social: Grief has a way of both stretching and sustaining gratitude. I have deep gratitude for the foundation you helped me build—my education, friendships and traditions. But I am stretched by the rift between who you were and who you have become. Read more: ow.ly/fntj50X0PcX

Thanks to Good Faith Media for this opportunity to write about grief, gratitude and belonging.

Well, our family wasn’t raptured. It’s after 7:00 AM and it’s time to start our very normal day. Metro. Boulot. Dodo.

Airlines GAH.

An eternal goodbye - infinitely difficult. But now we are home. And we will learn to navigate this world without Dad. I’m not sure how yet, but he loved us so well, so I am confident we will figure it out.

O Divine Spirit, Capture my tears in your heart. Bring comfort to my sorrowful weeping.

I’m so tired. Grief is the worst.

Jesus be near.

Thank you to @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social for publishing my latest! #DeconstructionSky #LGBTQ goodfaithmedia.org/god-in-glitt...

Dad is home. Hospice came in and prepared everything (as they do!). I am such a believer in the work of hospice and have had incredibly positive experiences in the past. Grateful my Dad will be comfortable at home now.

I am so sorry. Sending light and breath, and my shortened version of my favorite Thich Naht Hanh meditation: In, out Deep, slow Calm, ease Present moment. 🕯💔

Happy Book Release day to my friend, Rebecca who has so powerfully brought to life the voices of Biblical women!

Huge love and congratulations to Rev. Michelle Wahila @ruffledbygrace, whose memoir/ prayer book/ blessing book is out TODAY! And I have it in my hands and next to my heart. I am so grateful for her bold feminist/ femme voice! Michelle, je t'aime! #church #parispastor @ruffledbygrace.bsky.social

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much. 🩷🩷🩷

In happy news, my dear friend @ruffledbygrace.bsky.social just released her first book! 🥳

Oooof, don’t we know it. 😉

Some words in my book may challenge your beliefs and perspective. It's okay to feel uncomfortable or defensive—embrace it! 🙏 Journey through the discomfort; that's where growth happens. 🌟

Getting photos from friends and family with my book is something else!!! It’s so surreal.

I honestly think God’s kingdom is actually hell for MAGA.

Love seeing my book next to the talented Rebecca Craig’s new book. You can order my book on July 15! And hers on August 19. ☺️ Thank you @tehomcenter.bsky.social

Aww. My new book is listed next to my friend @ruffledbygrace.bsky.social ‘s new book!

The Nazis targeted disabled people first. They knew no one would speak up for us They tested the gas chambers on us Ableism and eugenics feed right into fascism and white supremacy Now more than ever we need folks to engage with disabled activists. Learn about disability justice. Help us resist.

Incoming vent: My IG was almost hacked/taken from me because I tried to support another woman entrepreneur with whom I had worked. I had money stolen from me this year because I naively tried to help someone looking for freelance extra work. Apparently, I should be done being nice?

One of the unexpected joys of this new book is that someone will say something about what’s going on in their life and I can say, « I have a liturgy for that. » Never could I have imagined being able to share my prayers and liturgies in this way. My heart is full. 🩷✨💛 #ruffledbygrace

Oh my goodness, Michelle. So powerful, so provocative. You are a marvel, not to mention a prophet. 💜🙏🏻💜

Glad I could help 💙💙

My next article for @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social is out today. Thanks to my sister 💛 @liminalrj.bsky.social for helping me kick around a lot of these ideas.

@ruffledbygrace.bsky.social: The promise of American “greatness” is merely nostalgia, disembodied from history and reduced to “a set of aesthetic values identified with sentimentalism.” And we have let the sickness of nostalgia permeate our American political landscape.

🌟 We are truly humbled by this incredible endorsement of Ruffled by Grace! 🙏✨ A huge thank you to Rev. Rebecca J. Craig for beautifully capturing the essence of our journey of faith, resilience, and healing. 💖

And if you had the audacity to question that, let alone change it, I'll bet my next paycheck you got punished for it.

My sister wrote a book, please grab a copy

I gave my “best” to the church—at the cost of everything else. My children got forehead kisses. My spouse got the leftovers. The church got my soul. 📖 Ruffled by Grace – Coming July 15, 2025 Preorder your copy today: t.co/Imcj4uC4S4

A Saturday 4:30 wake up for football 🏈?!?! « Ça Pique » as they say here 🇫🇷! But, Go Caïmans! 💛🐊 💛

Congratulations!

✨ Part memoir. ✨ Part prayer book. ✨ All heart. With raw vulnerability and poetic prose, Michelle weaves her story from the stained-glass ceilings of the church to a life-giving ministry in Paris and rewriting what sacred service looks like. #RuffledByGrace

Pre-ordered! Cannot wait to celebrate your book launch with you!
