I just realized that July is half birthday month, not only for me, but also for my book! Six months ago this special little book, Isn’t it Time for a Coffee Break?, made its debut into the big-wide world. It’s a scary thing to spend months laboring over something, putting your heart and soul and personal stories into it, and then releasing it into the world.
It released and we had an amazing party (in the midst of a snow storm!). I was overwhelmed by how many of you showed up in person and celebrated with me. Truly, I have an incredible community.
Then we got to do something fun, (and a bit outside my comfort zone!) with the help of many friends (in front of and behind the cameras).
I’ve been beyond blessed and humbled by your responses to the book.
I have loved hearing how you connected with the stories and Scriptures and how you’ve shared the book with others. I’ve loved hearing how you realized you didn’t have to be perfect, or have new carpet in order to invite others into your home. I’ve loved hearing how you’re paying attention to the cashiers at the grocery and realizing the value of the little daily things you do.
Because you are gifted.
You have something to offer the world.
You. Are. Loved.
So to celebrate YOU wonderful readers, whether this is your first time here, whether you’ve read the book or not, I have 2 prize packages to give away, and a LOTS of ways you can enter.

Oh thank you Peter! 🙂
I have a friend in mind for your book. She’d love it! 🙂

I’m just super excited about being a part of your world! The best chapter for me was Chapter 1 — God really had me dig deep and examine how I love certain people in my life.
I’m so glad our worlds have connected! Chapter 1 was my favorite too. And challenged me as well!
I gotta give the SDG sisterhood credit for getting me over here, as I have never crossed paths with you before. And now, here I am, and I am so excited and so blessed to see this and find a part of you as a sister and a friend <3
