What your heart may need this fall

Happy Labor Day if you live in the United States. Maybe, like me, you’re realizing that summer adventures often take more energy than they give. Dave and I discovered recently that we don’t vacation very well—most of ours have something to do with work. That’s why we declared this long weekend “Unlabor Day.” A chance to step back, breathe, and simply be. And we will plan a true vacation for 2026. 😉 Stay tuned. Consider The Breathe Again Masterclass begins on September 9. Consider joining this small group of women pursuing recovery from betrayal wounds. If you long for a place to heal, find support, and breathe again, I’d love for you to join us.
Reflect Did you know that 95% of all communication (words, actions, tone of voice, etc.) is neutral? 🤯 Only a small percentage carries clear positivity 😀 or negativity 🙁. Yet, even the smallest words can carry deep weight. Proverbs 18:21 The MESSAGE Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose. 🙏🏻 May I pray for you? Dear God, as [first name] closes out the summer season, help [Reader celebrate what you allowed. Thank you for this new fall season, God. You tell us in Ecclesiastes 3 that everything has a season. Captivate Reader with what you continue to do in her life. While fall seasons tend to be busy with many activities, show Reader how to rest and remain present each day. Thank you for the gift of seasons. Amen. |

The last few days, Dave and I spent time visiting our family in Utah. Now that our kids and their families are scattered across the country, these quick trips are extra special. My heart always longs for more time—every moment feels like a treasure. Before we left, I made a choice: no laptop. I wanted to be fully present. What an incredible joy—and a breath of fresh air—it was to disconnect and simply be. One highlight? Watching our granddaughter perform with her color guard team in...
Ah, the holidays—sparkly lights, peppermint mochas, and that one relative who still asks awkward questions. It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year… but if your marriage is hurting, it can feel more like survival mode. Even if he’s doing the “right things” in recovery, your heart may still feel tender, tired, and maybe even betrayed. You’re trying to hold it together, but inside, you’re wondering, How do I make it through this season? I get it. That’s why I created The...
Changing leaves. Cooler air with less humidity. Crisper mornings. Some of my favorite colors. Pumpkins, apples, and fragrant spices. I love fall. 🍂 But last evening, while watching reruns of an old favorite show, a commercial for Halloween decorations popped up. And my heart sank. Warning: here comes a little rant… I truly abhor this twist on the fall season. When I see all the spooky decorations and the winking at evil, I grieve how our culture trivializes the very real pain, suffering, and...
