Have just had a stressful few days, and have been trying (and regularly failing) to leave the resolution to God, with the intervention of St Therese of Lisieux and my guardian angel, who never fail. Situation resolved this evening, happily, and though I wish I had been less anxious about it, my spirit was willing to be so though my flesh was weak.
The most stress I feel is knowing what I know about our current world condition, as well as how it came about. I wanted to know. It was my choice to research the various histories of various places and people and things. My faith is strong. My body is weak. My mind is always tormenting me. I use the name of Jesus to keep demons away. I know that God is real. Taking deep breaths is my favourite calming mechanism.
By the way, I just finished Paradise Symphony (it's been a very busy Summer) so all three books have been read in the proper order and I love your characters. Thompson is a favourite though so... Not going to give anything away for others who are reading. :) The way your good characters profess faith in God is refreshing because not many authors do who write in the genre you chose for this trilogy. Frightening and reminiscent of H.P. Lovecraft.

I want to thank you for this amazing article on stress management. It really got me thinking. I really enjoyed the part “I would do what’s in my hands and leave the rest up to God.” It’s a powerful and reassuring perspective. Thank you for sharing these valuable words and insights!
