Giving it Forward
Hello and hope you are having a nice Sunday! Today I wanted to share some excerpts from a book I read a few months ago—Be the Gift by Ann Voskamp. This is a shorter version of her book The Broken Way, which I’ve also read.

Happy Easter
This Easter Day has been very cold, cloudy, and rainy–it feels more like winter here than spring! I hope you’re having a warmer, sunnier day. At least for those of us who have rain or snow, we can enjoy having pretty spring flowers inside, right? These daffodils were growing wild in a field, so I…

Journey Well
End your journey well. Don’t waste your life, and don’t be satisfied with anything less than God’s plan. —Billy Graham (1918–2018) On Wednesday, February 21, I saw the headlines in the news that you probably saw too—most read something like “Evangelist Billy Graham, 99, Dies.” I would have liked to have

My Word for 2018
Instead of making New Year’s Resolutions this year, I’m picking a word that will be “my one word” to focus on during the year. There’s actually a book called My One Word and a website, too–MyOneWord.org. This is not a new book–it was first published in 2012. But it’s new to me. I’ve not read the…

Rest
I tried to get some hand lettering practice in this week! I know so many talented designers who do great hand lettering, and seeing what they do is so inspiring! I thought I’d start practicing by doing a word every week.

Holding Tight to the Permanent One
“How quickly things change. Life is a given until it isn’t,” writes Amanda as she shares about her father’s battle with cancer. “For a long time, nothing was certain except that life was uncertain,” Raechel adds, as she describes the brokenness in her childhood home. Two women, two stories–different, yet not so different from yours or mine.…

Focusing on Truth
When I saw this quote from a new book coming out soon (see shereadstruthbook.com), the words truth and eternal stood out to me. Truth and eternal. These two words helped me get through a very difficult time I experienced earlier this summer. A few posts ago, I shared with you that my mom had died. Losing someone close to you totally changes…
