[Gabriela]

A researcher at my university recently gave this talk at the Virginia Tech TEDx conference:

Lots o' nuns!

 

(BTW: At minute 5:00, she said "...it'll begin to fill itself". There's a glitch in the video there.)

I've seen that in my own life.... ("The haunted house your head will become" @ 11:50 rings very true.) Great talk!

Thank you so much for posting this!! It was all very applicable to my discernment and contained a lot of things I needed to hear right now.

Thanks for posting! I really liked her objective yet respectful approach, especially concerning the nuns!

That was really good.  Thanks for posting.  I totally know what she means about running away.

This is excellent!

This was insightful and thought provoking. Truly excellent.

 

I strongly suggest that this video also be posted in Open Mic, with a title that makes it clear that it is not only for people who are actively discerning the religious life. I think everyone who opens this post and watches the video will find it applicable to themselves--whatever life goals they are pursuing.

 

To my VERY great surprise, I found that, without realizing it, I have been pursuing the first step--quiet. Among other things, I have no working TV, no stereo, no ipod, etc.  Now to the next steps........

Thanks for the advice! I did as you suggested. :-)
