Summary
Tsh shares a little practice she's been doing the past few months to help her weekends go much smoother. To anyone around her, it probably looks like nothing — but to her brain, it's been a game changer.
And Katherine's not only a local pastor, but by golly this is Holy Week — so, we get into what this means when it comes to sitting in discomfort and letting ourselves feel all the things, instead of rushing from the weirdness of Palm Sunday into the colored Easter eggs of Easter. Even if you're not a Christian, I think you'll resonate with this.
They also get in to what this means in light of this week's heavy news of Notre Dame in Paris — what a symbol for Holy Week.

| 0:00.0 | This is simple. I'm Tish Oxen writer. |
| 0:04.0 | Hey friends, in this episode I am chatting. |
| 0:07.0 | Hey friends, in this episode I am chatting with contributing writer Catherine Willis |
| 0:15.3 | Percy as always we're talking about what we wrote about this week I'm actually |
| 0:19.9 | going first this week something we don't usually do. You'll see why in a bit. And I am riffing a bit off of what I wrote this past week, which was about time. And I'm sharing with you a practice, a little practice I've been doing the past few months to help my |
| 0:34.0 | weekends go much smoother. I call them on an off-ramps and to anyone around me it |
| 0:40.1 | probably looks like nothing but to my brain it's been a game changer. You'll see what I mean. |
| 0:46.0 | And then in the second half of our chat, Catherine gets into Easter. |
| 0:51.0 | I mean, how could we not? She's not only a local pastor in her community, but this is also |
| 0:56.2 | wholly weak by golly, so for those of us that are Christians, we get into what this means when it comes to sitting in discomfort, letting ourselves feel |
| 1:06.1 | all the things instead of rushing from the weirdness of Palm Sunday into the colored Easter |
| 1:12.0 | eggs of Easter Sunday. |
| 1:14.0 | Even if you're not a Christian, which I know is a number of you, |
| 1:17.0 | don't skip past this part of the chat. |
| 1:19.0 | I found it very encouraging, |
| 1:21.0 | especially in light of this week's heavy news of Notre Dame in |
| 1:25.0 | Paris. This has personally been pretty emotional for me as well as for Kyle, not |
| 1:30.8 | only because we've been there several times and we love this cathedral but because |
| 1:36.7 | of what it symbolizes that there's so much beauty around us that gets destroyed and is prone to ashes because of our temporal |
| 1:45.9 | nature here on earth and yet the story is not over. I mean I really can't think of |
| 1:51.5 | a more haunting symbol for Holy Week. |
| 1:54.6 | It's been seared into my mind pretty much non-stop this week. |
