New is Coming!
Happy New Year, Y’all!
It’s been a minute since I have written something myself. I am grateful to the women who have shared their experiences and am looking forward to a few more sharing in the Quarantine Chronicles series. Stay tuned!
So, where have I been? What’s been going on? Well... I have been busy and not busy at the same time. I have been dreaming, and planning, and doing. I have been struggling to lean in preparation for something that I think is going to be great!
If you have taken some time to poke around the site, you have seen something new pop up. If you follow us on social media you are already aware that we have been doing Morning Meditation every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. This is just an opportunity to get our days started in prayer and study. It’s great conversation and a little bit of cussin’, but it’s real. Our goal is to push each other to be better; to be more whole versions of ourselves. I am a Jesus follower, so this includes studying and meditating on the word for me. If you are interested, please feel free to join.
You may have also seen something called Third Thursdays floating along the site and in social media. This is a women’s group starting this year to continue the conversations we began here. So much goes on in our lives every day. We deal with work, school, children, parents, friends, significant others, the list goes on and on. There is so much going on but not often enough do we take a moment to pause and recharge. Coming together, as women, to talk about the things we deal with each day, for support, insight, perspective and all around growing, is refreshing. Sometimes we just need someone to get us together, or to look at our situations with outside yes, or engage in thought-provoking, challenging conversation. -We just want to grow.
On Third Thursdays, we will about any and everything. We will laugh, converse and pray if we feel the need to. There will probably be some cussin’ here too :)
The goal of Life. Breath. Words. is to spark conversation and grow. We grow through learning with and from each other. All of the offerings are open to everyone but there is a focus on women (or those who identify as women). Our experiences are different. There is so much we don’t talk about. I don’t know how many times I am gaslighted or my intelligence is undermined because I am likely being “emotional”. I wonder if I missed an opportunity to be married to someone who was amazing because I had my head in the sand. I question my choices and find it challenging to deal with work or managing aging parents. A lot falls on our shoulders. This is a space to talk about these things and more.
If you are not involved in any of our programs, I invite you to join. I am refreshed each morning from Morning Meditation, and I know the same will be said from Third Thursdays. If you are not a Christian, Jesus follower, or whatever title you choose to use and Morning Meditation is not your bag its cool, but I do invite you check out Third Thursdays.
Happy new year!
