What I’m Into-February
I love it when people do these but forget to do it myself. I’m hoping to start doing these the first week of the month. :)

Loving this new show on Peacock! Shanola Hampton is a great lead. It’s a procedural and it has great Scandal vibes.

Minimalism-Starting next week!
Next week, over in the paid community I’m going to begin a series of reflections during the season of Lent on minimalism. I’m hoping to explore…
Interior clutter — My attention & more
Spiritual calling to minimalism — What’s going on in my soul with this? What’s inspiring me to think about this for Lent?
Digital minimalism — the age old reflection on my relationship with social media
Everyday minimalism — trying to change my thinking in small ways
Minimalism in relationship to community — How does this connect to my desire to care for my community?
And whatever epiphanies and thoughts that come my way during the process
While this is for my paid community, if the price is a barrier, I will happily gift you a paid membership for this series! I know the struggle of finances and don’t want this to be a barrier to anyone’s reflection.
I’m really excited to be diving into this and can’t wait to reflect with y’all in community! <3
(There will be no paid post this week, due to scheduling constraints, but expect some robust thoughts as we enter Lent next week!)
Spiritual Healing with Joy and Purpose — February 10, 2024 (St. James & the Urban Well — Lancaster, PA) — THIS WEEKEND!! <3
I’m so excited to return to Saint James & the Urban Well — I visited last year and love these sweet people!
This Saturday retreat will bring a fresh focus on recovery and healing accessed through prayer and rest. It will address issues we all face at times: feeling weighed down or discouraged, anxiety, despair, and even depression which can lead to unhealthy habits and choices. The day will explore attitudes and barriers to accessing joy and the power of meditation, prayer and other contemplative practices in our own healing.
This is available in person and on Zoom! Sign up today!
Use Discerning Sobriety Course for Lent
If you observe Lent, consider being guided by my course — Discerning Sobriety — for this season. You will get an email every day for 40 days, based on when you sign up.
Maybe you want to give up alcohol for Lent — this course offers insight as you take a break from alcohol for spiritual reasons.
Maybe your Lenten discipline is just to bring mindfulness into your relationship with alcohol — this course is a great way to do that!
Maybe you have a group who wants to give alcohol up for Lent together or explore mindfulness around alcohol together — reach out and let’s discuss group rates!
If this course feels financially impossible for you right now, please respond to this email and we will figure it out. <3
Wow, so much richness here, my friend. Thank you for this thoughtful share.
