December is my favorite month to slow the body down and let the nervous system unclench. Psalm 18:35 says, “His gentleness has made me great.” Not His pressure. Not His hustle. His gentleness.

So DANCE starts with the simplest of movements: walking. Before the graceful arms and tai-chi shifts, we honor the humble walk.
Rhythmic steps act like a God-designed anxiolytic, calming the mind the way medication attempts to, but with far more joy and zero grogginess.

Gentle movement drops cortisol, lifts vagal tone, and reassures the brain, “We’re safe.” And a safe brain actually wants to keep moving.

So if the holidays feel heavy, start with a walk. Then add a soft sway. Let your body remember peace—one step, one breath at a time.

🌅 The sun rises whether we feel ready for a new day or not. But like clockwork, God is faithful, even when we’re weary.

You are still here. You are still held. And even in grief, light finds a way through.

Take a deep breath. Feel the warmth on your skin. Today doesn’t have to be figured out—just lived. One moment at a time.

☀️ What’s one thing you’re looking forward to today?

In the midst of loss, it can feel like the world as you know it is falling apart. In some ways it may actually be, but this pervasive view can make us feel isolated and overwhelmed. Take a moment and ask yourself, is this really a helpful way to view such a challenging time? Is this how God views our suffering?

In the depths of great sorrow, I know - everything can seem so bleak. The emotional toll of grief is huge, and it’s hard to see a way forward. It feels like nothing will ever be okay because your world has fundamentally changed. 🌧️

But does it feel this way 100% of the time? Are there no moments, however brief, where you find a glimmer of peace or a small spark of hope? If it's not true all the time, then maybe there's another way for you to start seeing this. I pray, God, give us hope and help us to see things as you see them.

Can you imagine, instead of seeing the whole world as crumbling, we start recognizing God’s hand in a reshaping - of clay and dust and the high pressure it takes to make a diamond.. Life is, indeed, different now, but different doesn’t mean forever worse. God gives and takes away, and this change can bring a new kind of beauty to your soul and a strength and resilience you might just barely start to imagine. This is a chance to rebuild with the support and love that still surrounds you. I pray, peace.. ✨

Preferring to believe that everything, in fact, is falling apart, you risk getting stuck in a cycle of despair, and this inertia can prevent you from healing and finding joy in life again. Loss, though painful, provides a beautiful opportunity to grow in God’s grace and to find purpose and transformation.

Ask yourself: do you want to keep operating under the belief that the world is falling apart? Or would you consider a lighter, brighter, and more Godly perspective that allows for healing and hope? If you’re longing for encouragement to help you move forward, I’d be honored to talk with you. Click the link below to book a free 30 minute call.

1️⃣ Withdrawal from social activities.
2️⃣ Lack of energy or enthusiasm for daily routines.
3️⃣ Irritability or unexpected mood changes.
4️⃣ Declining physical health or chronic pain.
5️⃣ Talking about feeling “lost” or purposeless.

Understanding these signs helps us provide the right support. Swipe to learn more. 💛

Loving is its own reward. When we love, we step into joy, regardless of whether that love is returned. Scripture affirms this: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).

Jesus calls us to love—not as a transaction, but as a way of life: “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). When we withhold love out of fear or self-protection, we aren’t just avoiding hurt—we’re denying ourselves the deep, soul-filling goodness that comes from loving freely.

Loving others is how we stay connected to God, to joy, and to the life we were meant to live.
