Exciting Kickoff for Our Summer Bible Study!

We had our first meet-up for the “Untangle Your Emotions” Summer Bible Study, and it was a wonderful start! It was inspiring to come together as a community of women, eager to discover what God says about our emotions and the importance of feeling them.

At Pursuing Wellness, we believe that our spiritual well-being is crucial to living a balanced life—mind, body, and soul. This study not only deepens our faith but also helps us understand and navigate our emotions in a healthy, God-centered way.

We’re thrilled to continue this journey together, fostering meaningful connections and growing in our spiritual walk. Each week brings a new opportunity to support one another and embrace the fullness of life God intends for us.

Join us as we explore, share, and thrive together!

✨ Mindfulness Monday ✨

Instead of asking, “How can I regulate my nervous system?” try asking, “What do I need in this moment to feel connected, grounded, and safe?”

Rewording the question shifts our focus from a clinical approach to a more holistic one, emphasizing self-awareness and immediate needs. This small change can make a big difference in how we connect with ourselves and our environment, fostering deeper self-compassion and understanding.

🍅🌱 Back and thriving! 🌱🍅

Hey there, Harvest The Lesson family! It's been a minute, but I'm beyond thrilled to reconnect with all of you. 💚 As I stand here surrounded by these beautiful tomato plants growing right in my office, I'm reminded of the resilience, love, and kindness that have always fueled our journey together. 🌟

One thing I've always taught my kids is that 'can't' is just a word we don't use around here. So when someone tells me they can't grow tomatoes, well, I just have to smile and show them these beauties right here! 💪🍅 And remember, 'Anything worth doing is worth doing right' - wise words from Benjamin Franklin that have guided me through every twist and turn of this adventure. 💚

So here's to new beginnings, fresh growth, and the incredible power of community. Let's keep spreading love and green goodness together! 🌱💚
