Hey Friend, Happy 2025!
You may have heard me share that my theme for the new year is
THRIVE in 2025. After last year’s theme,
LESS IS MORE in 2024, the word
THRIVE has taken on a fresh and exciting meaning for me.
(HEAR MORE ON THIS PODCAST!)
With that in mind (and hoping you’re interested LOL!), I wanted to touch base to say hello and share some updates from my life and ministry and hopefully hear right back from YOU!
A Look Back at 2024
Last year was a whirlwind! Here’s a quick glimpse into what’s been happening.
On the Home Front:
Life in North Georgia, although NOTHING like we had planned it to be, is peaceful and sweet with my Marine Honey of 48 years on our little mini farm of 3 dogs, 3 goats, and 1 exotic bird. We have a wonderful group friends here and are part of a THRIVING church home!
Our life is a blend of tender slow and just enough busy. We made many trips back and forth to Florida last year to visit family. and friends One of the biggest highlights was the JOY of our firstborn grandson’s wedding and welcoming a lovely new member into our family! We also enjoyed a mix of ministry travel and a few (but not enough) just-for-fun trips.
Professionally & Spiritually
My “Less is More” theme of 2024 led to a season of reflection and some redirection.
I committed myself to prayer and journaling, seeking clarity on what brings me joy versus what drains me. (Hint: If you haven’t done that exercise for yourself recently, I’d love to help—more on that later!)
Through this process, I gained a whole new layer of clarity about my value in ministry and my dream of helping women step deeper into their own Quest of Faith.
A CLEAR AND FRESH VISION
As I embrace God’s leading to THRIVE in 2025, here’s where my focus will be. I pray something appeals to you and inspires you to join me.
