It’s Monday, March 24th, 2025, and I’m writing to share the audio for yesterday’s tiny story shift with you. I hope that your week is off to a good beginning.

I’ve been thinking about writing to you throughout the day today - hoping that you stumble upon a moment or two of rest as the week begins.

this is the fifteenth (!) note in our current series, How to Be Still.

here is your gentle place to be inside this day. one of my personal favorites. a reminder to take time to breathe deep.

On lonely days it can be difficult to remember that our stories matter. That they’re connected. That the sum total of who we are isn’t contained in a moment or a season of sadness, disappointment, or unrelenting pressure.

So I decided to write you a quick note today…

It’s March 23, 2025, and I’m writing to share the audio for yesterday’s tiny story shift with you. So glad you’re here. :)

here is your gentle place to be inside this day. a reminder that you are not alone in the midst of it all.

(this is the fifteenth note in a new series I’m working on called How to Be Still.) sending care.

It can be profoundly disturbing and unsettling - deep within our souls - when we look at the world around us and feel as if it is hurtling in a direction that is completely out of sync with who we are in the core of our being. When our friendships reveal unexpected patterns. When our relationships tilt. When our careers shift. When our social networks steadily (and at times seemingly irrevocably) fray. When our home ceases to feel…

it’s Friday, March 21st 2025. The sun is spraying a collision of peach, orange, blue, and yellow hues across the sky. writing to you is on my mind.

as we move through our series, How to be Still, please take a moment to value the ground you’ve covered, and the ways in which you’ve grown - right now, or over the years.

here is your gentle place to be inside this day. a reminder that you’ve covered more ground than you think.

(this is the fourteenth note in our current series, How to Be Still.)

With each day, you are covering ground. Learning. Growing. Finding a way. Holding still. Inching forward. Gaining a deeper understanding of where we are. Or taking stock of where you’ve been. Some days, there are more questions than answers. Some days, clarity feels near. But…

here is your gentle place to be inside this day. a reminder that you are worthy of being listened to.

(this is note thirteen in a new series I’m working on called How to Be Still.)

It happens to all of us.

We find ourselves inundated by information and expectations everywhere, all the time, and in the process of trying to keep up, we forget to carve out time to be still.

Time to listen to our own voice…

here is your gentle place to be inside this day. a reminder that courage is right here, right now. often in the moments we tend to overlook.

(this is the twelfth entry in a new series I’m working on called How to Be Still.) rooting for you.

You have courage. The courage to keep showing up. To learn how to sit with your thoughts. Courage to explore your highs and your lows, to discover soft places where you need tending. Courage is not always spectacular…

you were on my mind early this morning. here is the eleventh note in our new series - How to Be Still.

here is your gentle place to be inside this day. a reminder that stillness can be found in the simple things.

In the blur of everyday demands, is there room to be still? When the voices demanding your attention right now are loudest, is it possible to find a pocket where you can breathe? See things more clearly? Reconnect with the core of you?

Is there room to be still?

Stillness, can be easily mistaken…

The hard things are difficult to explain. To understand. To make sense of, from the inside out, in ways that make things make sense. There are seasons in our lives…
