\"IMG_1142\"<\/a>It is going to be a new month tomorrow. It blows me away how fast this year is going. It seems like only yesterday I was wondering which of my new year resolutions would make it through the year — not a one! But a new month means a chance to pause for a moment and consider what is ahead.<\/p>\n

How was your month spiritually? Do you feel like things have been on an upswing and you want to continue in the same direction? That is great! Did you struggle with a particular topic or image this month? Maybe pick one and consider looking at it differently as we come into the next month. It is such a gift to have new months and new days or even minutes to keep growing and changing.<\/p>\n

I pray that you enter in to this journey with both feet on the ground and an open heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
