Resources to Live this Season Well

Some seasons are harder to inhabit than others. It’s a struggle to live faithfully and love others when our minds are distracted or focused on the wrong things. Learning to live our current season well takes practice.

I used to live at breakneck speed, accomplishing more than what was on my to-do list. That is until I started missing appointments. I would have to ask others to repeat what they just said because my mind was always focused on the next thing on the to-do list. Everything felt like it needed to be done immediately— unfortunately, I had misplaced my ability to prioritize my responsibilities.

You can only imagine how this made the people around me feel. Once I discovered practices that helped me pause, pray, and ponder I found it easier to gather my scattered thoughts.

My mind was in a fog, my thoughts scattering to the wind. I didn’t know how to reclaim my clarity.

Once I made a few small shifts, slowly incorporating age-old practices into my day, I began to gather my scattered thoughts. And my children noticed. People around me began to comment on my peace and the joy they were noticing.

You don’t have to lose sleep worrying about what’s falling through the cracks. Instead, you can place your focus where it belongs— loving God, yourself, and others well.

I’m glad you’re here and would love to connect on a regular basis. Each week I send out a short email to help you think more clearly so you can pay attention to what matters.

One of the first practices I incorporated was Reflective Writing. Does this sound familiar: waking up overwhelmed by all the things that need to be done in a day?

Are you ready to gather your scattered thoughts? Journaling does not have to be intimidating.

Pondering: A Guided Journal was created for any woman ready to accept the invitation to Pause, Gain Perspective, and Think Deeply with God. The beautiful pages are waiting for you.

Thoughtful questions help you see the world through a more positive lens. This journal also contains a series of Ongoing Lists you can add to so that you don't forget the moments that spark wonder, joy, and awe in the midst of everyday life.

Pondering is perfect for you to use alone or as the foundation for conversations with friends.

Whether you have never trusted a journal or have shelves lined with your thoughts, Pondering: A Guided Journal is the perfect next step on your journey to clarity, joy, and peace.
