Happy Sunday friend! Well, here we are …walking out our last week in Autumn and into Winter. As I’ve mentioned recently, I’m feeling this transition. Maybe it’s because it’s the time of year when we’re given lots of opportunities to feel… or maybe it’s just that in-between space that we feel during transitions… Whatever the reason I’m ready for the new season! And one of the things about seasons that I love is that even though we are continuously cycling through the different seasons we always experience them differently because we are always changing. We are moving into the Winter season of 2023/24 and the person you are today is not the person that experienced last Winter. We lived another full year of life which means we have experienced another year of both beautiful and hard moments and hopefully we are allowing all of our moments to grow us. But our life experiences and what is developed within us change our perspective. This week's focus is called “preparing for the next season” and it could easily be overlooked as it’s much more exciting to move on to what’s next. But one of the core desires in creating this seasonal journal was to invite us to live more intentionally. And we can think about living our lives more intentionally and even say we want to live intentionally. And yet if we don’t INTENTIONALLY prepare and take steps towards this desire nothing changes. We are so bombarded with voices and opinions. And it’s so common to how our culture lives that we are almost unaware of how distracted we live. At any time we can see images that evoke different emotions and thoughts within us. At any given moment we can hear a talk to a teaching. A bazillion distractions fill our heart and mind easily accessed from the touch of our fingers. We must be intentional in what is filling our hearts and minds. As we are walking out of one season and into the next I’m inviting you to take some time to think about ways you can walk through this season more intentionally. For those of you in the US the season of winter has us closing out a calendar year as well as welcoming a new year. It’s a season that holds a lot for us, in a multitude of ways. let’s prepare our hearts for all that God wants for us this season. Obviously, I would love to have you walk through this winter with the WINTER seasonal journal. I know some of you have already ordered yours and I will have ordering info in the show notes for those of you who would like to grab one. And for those of you who aren’t sure what this journal is, I’ll give a little background and explain. At the start of 2023, I released the first She Is Awakening seasonal journal which was the Spring Volume. And have released one each season since. Journaling and seasons have been a passion of mine for a long time as well as creating abstract art. The seasonal journal is all of those things meshed together. It comes in a hardcover as well as a softcover version. The journal is laid out with a weekly focus that includes journal prompts that walk you through the 13 weeks of the season. There is artwork and scancodes that are available for only those who have a journal. The journal is an intentional rhythm and practice that has been so life-giving to me that I wanted to invite all of you on the journey as well. This weekly episode that you are listening to that comes out every Sunday follows along with the seasonal journal. The Thursday podcast episodes cover other topics and conversations with different women. The She Is Podcast wasn’t started over 8 years ago because of a journal but because of a desire I had and still have to encourage women to live the life they were designed and created for. But I really love that we have this Sunday episode that drops as we are heading into a new week to help us focus and bring some intention on how we want to live our days. I pray this week is filled with peace and love for you as you intentionally liv
