Let's Celebrate!

We bought the house y'all!

Whoa...what a ride!! I have a few more gray hairs on my head, but we have keys! 

SO...let's re-cap. In the past two weeks:

I launched a new blog.
I released an eBook.
We bought a house.
We packed up our house to move.
...and it's Matt's birthday today! 

Oh my goodness! We are a bit tired, extremely grateful, and feeling a little crazy. So to celebrate, my eBook is available for whatever price you would like to pay. TODAY ONLY! Click on over to get your copy! And please be sure to spread the word!

Tomorrow, the price will go back to $27.00. (I am lowering the price permanently to get my book into more hands and hearts!)

Have an amazing weekend!

P.S. Texture Clothing winner will be announced later today!

Ritual & Routine

Moving a home, even when it's a joyful occasion, causes great distress. Everything seems to be upside down & out of order. During this time, I rely on ritual and routine to find my balance again. 

Something as simple as making my coffee every morning can bring comfort. The aroma. The steam rising. That first sip...oh how I savor. It's become a way for me to step into the sacred morning hours with more grace in my heart. I'm so thankful for the miracle of caffeine! 

Lighting incense. Playing my favorite music. Breathing deep. All of these center me back into the present and help to slow the spiraling effect of our entire world being packed up in boxes.

And yet...I need more than just the coffee and incense. The more out of control my life seems, the more I sense my need for Jesus and His strength. I sit with my Bible and soak up scripture...letting the grounding truth wash over me and center me for the day. When I am weak...HE is strong. Now that's true comfort.

So, with coffee in hand and my heart at peace, I will continue to pack up our life into boxes. Trusting that we will find peace & order again. For I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

What rituals & routines bring you comfort daily?
