Last week I traveled to Colorado and had the opportunity to see good friends, explore my old neighborhood, and speak at a local MOPS group. The topic was Postpartum Depression. What is it? What are the symptoms? What causes it? How can we prevent it? etc. I have been pretty candid with friends and family […]
The Two Books Preparing Me for 2017 {I h...
If you have been following me on Instagram or Facebook, you may have seen some posts lately about books I LOVE. They include Holy Listening with Breath, Body, and the Spirit by Whitney R. Simpson and Sacred Ordinary Days: Liturgical Planner. I want to share them with you, because I think they could be tools […]
My Prayer for President Trump
I haven’t participated in Five Minute Friday with Kate Motaung in ages. I needed to do some decluttering in my life – not only of my things, but of my thoughts, my wishes, my dreams. It is easy for me to get caught up in all of my big ideas and have too many that […]
Grateful 2016 is over? I understand.
Last weekend, Shutterfly offered 50% off hardcover photo-books and, since that is the only way we ever have physical copies of our pictures, I spent most of Saturday and Sunday creating a “yearbook” of 2015. (I’m obviously a little behind. Let’s not even talk about the fact that I have nothing printed from 2010-2013…) Going […]
Removing Christ before Christmas {Wait f...
One of my favorite book series is The Mitford Series by Jan Karon which follows the life of Father Tim, an aging Episcopal priest who pastors a small town of folks. His charming encounters with over-sized dogs, a next door neighbor with great legs, overzealous congregants, and runaway children – not to mention his own struggles […]
3 Simple Ways to Shop Fair Trade (Even o...
Over the past decade, Fair Trade has become more and more important to me. It started with chocolate. When I was pregnant with my first son I fell hard for dark chocolate and began to consume it on a regular basis. Think daily. So you can imagine my horror when I learned that most of […]
Why I Chose to be a Compassionate Entrep...
My story with Trades of Hope began in 2014 when my dad took his first trip to Haiti. It was his first medical missions trip and I was so excited for him to use his abilities for the sake of other people. What I didn’t expect was the change I would see in him when […]
I’m on Kris Camealy’s blog today! How to
What an exciting Wednesday! Today I am over at Kris Camealy’s website with a guest post as part of the launch of her new Advent Devotional, Come, Lord Jesus: The Weight of Waiting. I shared her book on Instagram last week and I can’t recommend it enough. As I wrote on my review on amazon.com: Perhaps […]
Listen to my MOPS talk “Self-Care is Sou
We are in a busy season, here in the Everson household. Packed in a way I could not have envisioned a year ago. At the end of September/beginning of October I staffed a weekend for Women’s Walk with Christ in North Carolina. Then Tim staffed a Marked Men for Christ weekend in Colorado. In between […]
