Kaitlyn,

Congratulations on #100! I'm reading Say the Right Thing by Carolyn Lacey & Heart Happy by Tricia Goyer. Tonight I made Southwest Chicken Casserole for hubby & I. Check it out on The Clean Eating Couple.com.

Blessings :)

I highly recommend this book by Zora Neal Hurston, who is most known for Their Eyes Were Watching God, which I read back in my late 20s. The book is: Moses, the Man and the Mountain. It helps to have read Exodus from the Bible, but not completely necessary.

I read Whose Waves These Are earlier this year on your recommendation and enjoyed it, so figured I could trust you for another. :)

Hi and congratulations. I've been around here a while and also write/speak for a living. So I want you to know Im giving you a little virtual standing ovation for consistency and sticking with it. I KNOW the desire to quit, stop, give up, end all things. However, you didn't. Celebrate that writer!

I am making all things tomato as my four plants are producing enough tomatoes to feed me and all my friends all winter.

I am reading Happiness for Beginners and it's pretty good.

I just started taking a class: Foundations in Spirituality which is the pre-course for Spritiual Direction cohort. I just turned 59. So, old dogs and new tricks and all that.

I am getting those tshirts in three colors today.

I'll bet its fun to read comments from all the people you don't even know.

Happy Fall!

Thank youuuuu. I really appreciate your encouragement!

If you don't follow online/listen to her podcast/read her books -- you might enjoy Emily P. Freeman's words. She's a spiritual director. :)
