Good weekend to you! I'll take a wild guess and say that you've got at least one book going right now, what with winter weather and self-quarantining and the holidays all done for.
2021's final read was The Wish, a gentle story of first love, heartbreaking diagnosis, and a priceless gift. Beautifully penned fiction, no one writes a love story like Nicholas Sparks. I burned the midnight oil on this one. You won't be able to put this bestseller down. Promise.
And here's the three titles I found most thought-provoking in '21.
The mailman just delivered Aundi Kolber's The Try Softer Guided Journey: A Soulful Companion to Healing, the follow up workbook/journal to Try Softer: A Fresh Approach to Move Us out of Anxiety, Stress, and Survival Mode--and Into a Life of Connection and Joy.
As a trauma therapist and trauma survivor, Aundi's approach is calming and tender as she encourages us to listen to our bodies instead of fighting them. Visit her website and if she resonates for you, do sign up for her newsletter and grab these two resources. Superb companions for your own personal healing journey. Or for group work.

A thank you note arrived for you, dear readers, from my friend, Heather. A year ago you showered her with lovingkindness, empathy, prayer ... and an outpouring of inspirational titles to accompany her on her cancer journey.
She writes -
As I read again this post and all the comments, I am beyond grateful for you and for all the prayers and care and suggestions given by the many friends I haven’t met yet! A year ago I didn’t expect to be here on New Year’s Day 2022, but thanks to God’s gracious hand, I am! As I begin a new type of cancer treatment this month, I will reach out for some of the titles everyone suggested that I didn’t get to last year. May God bless us and give each of us the wisdom and strength we need in the new year. “He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”(Ephesians 3:20)!!
