Today's episode is dedicated, again, to my sister. My Bachelorette Party and Wedding would not have been complete without her presence. Before my Ray o' Son, she was the first sunshine in my world.

Happy Spring! We are finally awake after a long Winter's nap! What a Winter! Thankful to be brushing the snowflakes off and looking toward full blooms ahead! How about you?

Are you ready to shed, release some hibernation hues today?

I have just the thing for you! This is one episode that will surely brighten up your day!

We hope you will enjoy these last chapters of the memoir before kicking off Season 7 this Summer! We already have some special guests in the works whose journaling stories will surely lift your spirits!

*Today's prompt is at 9:49.

Today, enjoy the audio release of my memoir, Embodying Joy: A Heart Journal, Chapter 16, with somatic meditative journaling: stretching, taking some cleansing relaxing breaths, reflecting on God's subtle and sometimes blaring reminder, to lovingly listen. Settle into the page with our soothing meditative music, "Balance of Self," to set the margins for your pen, discovery, and appreciation.

Chapter 16 is titled, "Pedicures and Precious Reunions," (2017) and details the power of resting in grace and joy thanks to the power of forgiveness. In a previous episode I shared a bit about my sister's Cancer story. Reuniting with her the night before my wedding was a reunion that turned heads at the nail salon!

Today's Sacred Word is from Matthew 18:21-22

An adventurous chapter in my journey restoring hope in forgiveness again.

The Spring Sojourn series will lead up to the re-release of my memoir, complete with a revised title, new cover, and three new stories. Coming October 2026!

Today's episode is dedicated to the late, great, Bob Weir. Thank you for the music. We're still here enjoying the ride.

Today, enjoy the audio release of my memoir, Embodying Joy: A Heart Journal, Chapter 15, with somatic meditative journaling: stretching, taking some cleansing relaxing breaths, reflecting on God's subtle and sometimes blaring reminder, to lovingly listen. Settle into the page with our new meditative music, "Balance of Self," to set the margins for your pen, discovery, and appreciation.

Chapter 15 is titled, "You are Inspiration," (2012-2022) and details the power of pausing to catch the chords God is trying to play when we care enough to listen.

It is also a tale of a strange cocktail of bourbon, banjos, and Bob Weir, and how leaning into each authentically set the vibration for a new song in my life's collection: falling in love with my Englishman in Colorado, my soon to be second husband.

Today's chapter focuses on making every small and subtle choice surrendered to and surrounded by Divine inspiration.

Today's Sacred Word is from Isaiah 55:3.

A playful chapter in my journey restoring hope in love again.

No, our love will not fade away...

*GREAT news! We have fixed our microphone issue!

*Today's prompt is at 11:06

Today, enjoy the audio release of my memoir, Embodying Joy: A Heart Journal, Chapter 14, with somatic meditative journaling: stretching, taking some cleansing relaxing breaths, reflecting on the anchor of Faith, and finally settling into the page with our new meditative music, "Balance of Self," to set the margins for your pen, discovery, and appreciation.

Chapter 14 is titled, "Just a Phone Call Away," (2013-2015) and details the memory of feeling the world shift as I felt a tug from the Universe to leave the past and New York State behind. In starting a new life in the High Rockies with my beau (who I married in 2016), I also left parts of my heart half way across the country.

It is also a tale of Cross Country Cancer-being just a phone call away proved to be especially tricky when my younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Today's chapter focuses on the possibilities God creates when we open ourselves to what Martha Beck loves to call "the way of integrity."

Today's Sacred Word is from Luke 1:37 (ESV).

Today's research is from The National Cancer Institute.

A beautiful, bittersweet chapter and prompt of gratitude for your heart to remember to never entertain the "impossible" when it comes to God's loving and sovereign Hand.
