Super Summer 2016 FREE! Printable Calendar Reveal!

Oh my goodness, I am so excited to finally be finished with my summer calendars; it's liberating!    I feel like I am running a bit behind this year with these, because I like to have them posted a little further out from the end of school, but well, I was waiting on camp information and such.  And when you wait on someone else who likes to be late, inevitably you're going to be late.  Nevertheless, it's still here before school is out for us!  That being said, I'm happy to present to you our summer calendar!

Goal Setting: Week of May 15, 2016

So I know it's been a while since I posted my goal updates and goals for next week, but here we go; I'm going to try this again.  This week felt fairly unproductive, though I guess you could say I got a decent amount of things done: all of the laundry, made some phone calls about my book, took some phone calls about said book, and actually put up a post or two.  Here's hoping next week I am a little more focused: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7) Work on 1 cross stitch color Physical:…

Courageous is LIVE!

I have to admit I am SUPER distracted today. I am excited and in pain from my back and sick with a cold all at the same time. Here is the exciting (and most important!) thing though: I was on a break at a retreat on Saturday when I discovered that my new book Courageous is live on Amazon, and I've been trying to promote like crazy across all channels ever since.  Then this morning I discovered that the book is live on the Barnes & Noble website (on sale, no less!), so whenever Amazon runs out I am checking the…

Judge Less, Encourage More: Opening Up About the Struggle Within

The frightening truth about financial difficulty and outside employement As I write this, I am sitting in my car at softball practice after having written three book reviews to post on three consecutive Fridays. I am feeling all sorts of things right now as we face financial hurdles ahead of us. It's been a tough several months since the beginning of the year. Sometimes I want to panic the more I see our bank account dwindle. It might be time to take a Loan out, which I don't mind doing at times like this because I know it's all part…
