I've never heard of the resume life and eulogy life. It reminds me of the book the Second Mountain by David Brooks. He talks about reaching the summit of the first mountain (the resume life) only to discover the second (the eulogy life). I also really feel the part about not having room for anyone else if you're constantly making a living for yourself. That has been so true for me and I'm starting to realize a bit more each day how isolating the resume life has been.
I hadn't heard it put that way before until Josh Radnor did. That's the second time this week someone has referenced David Brooks to me! I've read most all of How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen, and LOVE it! It seems like you'd recommend the Second Mountain? The way you describe it reminds me or Richard Rohr's Falling Upward. He writes about first and second "half" of life in a similar sounding way. And, what a beautiful thing that you're blossoming into the eulogy/second half of life. Thank you for sharing! 🫶🏽
This is beautiful and lifted my spirit this morning. In my previous church, when saying the Lord’s Prayer, we substituted “kindom” for “kingdom.” I used to feel a bit weird saying it, but your post shows me the importance of the term.
I'm so glad to hear that, Peggy. Thank you! 🥰 And I'm happy I got to shed some light on that unique part of your previous church. 🙏🏽 You brightened my day by commenting, thank you again! I hope you have a lovely day!

I do recommend the Second Mountain and I haven’t read How to Know a Person or Falling Upward. I’m going to check those out too!
Fantastic! I'll definitely check Second Mountain out!
