🍁 The Gift of Tradition 🍂

One of the reasons I (Elyssa ❤️) love fall so much is because of our family traditions. Decorating our home each year always stirs up sweet memories—some decorations I bought, some I made with our kids, and some they made themselves. Each one carries a story of laughter, love, and connection.

Our food traditions have their own rhythm, too. Sweet potatoes are always on the Thanksgiving table, though how they’re made seems to change every few years—sometimes baked with peaches and pecans (thanks to my college roommate for that one!), sometimes whipped into a soufflé. Each new season brings new flavors, new memories, and new faces around the table.

As our kids have grown, our traditions have shifted, too. The leaf piles that once brought squeals of laughter have turned into family teamwork days. And now, with a growing family and our first grandbaby on the way, I find myself thanking God for the roots He’s grown in us through these simple, sacred rhythms.

Traditions remind us who we are, where we’ve been, and how faithful God has been through it all.

✨ What fall traditions remind you of God’s faithfulness and the beauty of connection in your own life?

🌿 A Morning Reminder from My Walk 🌿

I just love how God speaks to me when I’m walking through my woods.

This morning, while out with the best dog in the world (thank You, Lord, for the gift of dogs 🐶), I passed a tree with a dead limb hanging over the trail.

I caught myself saying out loud to Marshall, “I bet this tree would grow stronger and bigger if it got rid of that dead limb.”

Right then, I sensed God whisper to my heart:
“Kati, have you stopped to consider how you might grow stronger if you let go of what’s dead in your life?”

Message received!💡

It made me pause and ask:

What “dead limbs” am I still holding onto—hoping they’ll somehow come back to life?

Nature reminds us again and again that when we prune back what’s dead, we make space for new growth and lasting fruit.

So I’ll leave you with this gentle question:

👉 Have you taken time lately to assess what needs pruning in your own life?

It’s not always easy, but the process of release always leads to renewal. 🌱

I hope you all have the best weekend reflecting on what needs to be pruned! ❤️ Kati

Healing can take many forms — and sometimes, words just aren’t enough.

Creative expression can be such a powerful tool in the healing journey!

At Full Bloom, we LOVE getting to offer different ways to express yourself during the healing process in therapy.

Below are some art pieces created by one of our amazing therapists, Elyssa!

Which one is your favorite??

I’ll go first — mine is the one that says “It’s Okay” at the top! 💛

✨Created for Connection Marriage Workshop – Coming in 3 Weeks!✨

We are thrilled to be hosting this powerful workshop designed to help couples grow closer, strengthen communication, and deepen connection.

A little about us, your hosts:

We’re Justin and Kati!

Our story began back in 2004 on a week-long backpacking trip—complete with hiking, rappelling, rock climbing, and canoeing. By the end of that adventure, we were inseparable.

We married in 2010 and since then have built a life full of adventure, growth, and (lots of) projects together.

🏡 We’ve renovated several homes (surviving remodels really is a test of teamwork!)

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 We’re raising three amazing kids—two boys (13 & almost 12) and a girl (9½).

🌱 We homestead with goats, hogs, chickens, ducks, and a big garden.

🔨 Justin runs a construction business, and I (Kati) own a Christian counseling group practice.

Did we mention we homeschool??

We’re passionate about walking alongside couples as they grow stronger together, and we can’t wait to share this workshop with you.

👉 Save your spot today!

I wonder if sometimes I don’t have the things I’m longing for yet because I’m still needing to learn to cultivate joy in the circumstances I’m still currently in… ouch.

I was on my daily walk last week and was praying for the things my heart longs for and aches from.

Really the requests were all for great things… the healing of bodies, minds, and relationships; and for further funds to keep living within our means and to still be able to give big. I prayed to be better at serve others.

The prayers weren’t bad and I really do believe God loves when I (and you) talk to him.

That wasn’t the problem, but rather that day God wanted to teach me something rather than just give me something.

Midway through my walk I plopped down on my trail to try and get centered (I was working myself up lol) and it hit me hard….

At one point you prayed for this trail.

You prayed for a place of peace that you can share with others.

You prayed for moms to befriend and pour into. Now you host a weekly mom’s play date where you get to grow closer with them and encourage each other.

I felt God telling me that He still have great plans for me, and He loves to hear my heart, but what He really needs from in this season is for me to really be serious about cultivating my joy and being a better keeper of my joy.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I can’t argue with that.

So now I’m digging deep into a journey of cultivating joy!

Here’s my plan:

1. Start my day with God. It’s so nice if it’s quiet and calm, but I’m doing it even if it’s chaotic.

2. Write out 5 things I’m grateful for and add pictures. I’m using a Google document, but anything could work.

3. I’m telling others about it too. When I share gratitude with others it waters my seeds of joy further and helps me refocus.

So I’ve added pics of the pretty things I was able to notice on the last half of my walk that brought me joy!

DO NOT HOLD SO TIGHT TO YOUR PERSPECTIVE THAT YOU LOOSE WHAT THE OTHER PERSON IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO TELL YOU!

As a person who has my own relationships and also as a therapist, I have worked with many couples and families to reach attachment break throughs by learning to really see the other person and get clarity on what they really are seeking to communicate.

I believe people struggle in relationships because we (I will include myself) are too often fixated on OUR OWN perspective.

When we do this, we can miss people’s reasons for their words and actions, their back story, their message, and why they are the way they are.

Let’s use our sand tray figures as an object lesson:

I present to you anxious/frantic dragon and chill momma bear and cub.

From the perspective of chill momma bear and cub, all she sees is this overwhelming and intensely emotional dragon. She is not quite sure what’s up and doesn’t understand the urgency. Momma bear wants to be in relationship with anxious/frantic dragon , but she’s not seeing what the big deal is so she pulls away from anxious/frantic dragon. Momma bear feels anxious/frantic dragon is being a bit overly emotional and isn’t acting rational. Maybe she should try to be more joyful and peaceful. It works for her, right??

Next, let’s go to the perspective of anxious/frantic dragon as she looks at momma bear and her cub. She is getting so upset because she knows momma bear can’t see the rattle snake about to pounce on her cub! She keeps reaching out, she tries to communicate louder with more intensity because she believes then momma bear will finally understand her intentions and the cub will get to safety.

Sound like any of your relationships?

I’ve been both the momma bear and anxious/frantic dragon. Really neither one is more right than the other! Both perspectives make perfect sense to the holder.

Thank God for relationships! Healthy relational attachment is seeking to understand other people and then letting them understand you. You feel closer, and it may even keep you from a snake bite!

Take turns sharing why you’re doing/saying what you’re doing. Listen, share, listen more. I promise it helps!

Life can be a complete mess sometimes.

But please do not wait to start your life and be productive for when everything is organized and perfect.

Because even when you start just the right way and put in all your best efforts, I promise at some point things WILL go sideways and it all get messy!

Sometimes it’s messy because you got it wrong. But sometimes it will get so messy at no fault of your own.

Either way…

DO NOT STOP.

DO NOT GIVE UP AND GIVE IN.

God can redeem your mess and often times seeks to refine you in the mess.

My garden below is a perfect object lesson. In the past we have had perfectly groomed gardens. But this summer life happened and it went bonkers.

But you know what? This messy garden still produces a ton of veggies and fruit.

How can we get that much of a harvest from that much of a mess?

Because we haven’t stopped working on it.

We didn’t get discouraged when it felt like too much to handle.

Because we know what fruit looks like.

Because we know the work is worth the harvest.

Because I wasn’t afraid to pick veggies surrounded my weeds (although the ticks I could do without).

The garden won’t always be this messy. It will soon be groomed back and posted to socials so everyone can drool over how magical it looks.

But today… it’s a whole hot mess.

And that’s ok. Because I know what it has been and what it soon will be.

Your current mess doesn’t define you.

I see you. I know it’s hard. Keep going. I’ve never regretted staying the course.

God is always teaching me cool stuff when I’m out doing life in nature!

The first 3 pics are of flowers that I picked that wilted after I waited too long to put in water. I became distracted by my chickens and goats 🥴 I was so sad they had wilted because they had just been so vibrant and pretty only an hour before!

But I then had a thought, “I wonder if they’d perk back up like new once I soak them water for the evening…”

And perk up they did! Pics 4 and 5 are of them the very next morning!

So here’s my question:

What is feeding you???

What are the distractions that are keeping you from plugging into your source of energy and fulfillment?

Are you plugging into things that are for your soul with food that lasts, or are you choosing things that are part of why you have feelings of being wilted??

Lastly, the last 3 pics are of the chickens and goats that were distracting me lol!!!

How many times in life do we keep trying to go to what’s dead inside?

I was walking on my land today and I was having a pretty heated discussion with God about what next steps He wanted me to take in life.

When suddenly, at the end of me asking my bold question of God, I heard a crazy loud crack and a shake of the ground near me, and this massive tree started to fall and crashed to the ground.

Talk about bold answers to bold prayers 😆!

I then snapped a pic to show my husband and noticed the sign that says, “DANGER NO TRESPASSING”

I was hit with how many times I keep trying to go to what’s dead inside. Sometimes it a relationship that needs to end, or things of the flesh I’m feeding that should die. Other times I seek situations that are not for me and will be missing what IS for me. And if I’m honest, I have been known to seek things that are at times dangerous to me, all the while with signs all around!

I am guilty of often thinking I am so capable of MY skills and how I want to make it work, when God is telling me to let it go and walk towards the path HE has for me.

This was a humbling reminder for me to always be taking inventory of who is directing my steps in life.

Lastly, be aware of praying outside because trees may fall near you!!!!
