Hey you guys!
How do you put your creative energies to work to defeat the blues, the news, the isolation, the disappointment that so easily combine to intrude and re-define how we see ourselves?
And what's God inviting you to in the process?

Here's a sampling of what's feeding, calming, and nurturing body, mind, and soul this winter ...
SCRIPTURE
RHYTHMS

SCENTS
MUGS
A great big mug of hot tea with plenty of honey. Maybe some mulled cider with a cinnamon stick. Grabbing a cup of steaming hot chocolate before heading over to the beach to wave-watch.

So ... what's saving YOUR deep-mid-winter life? I can't wait to read what's working for you ... or hear what God might be inviting you to!
