Ladies...An Invitation: 90-minutes of Gratitude All to Yourself

Dear Beloved Masterpiece,

I've been thinking lately about how easy it is to rush through our days collecting moments without really noticing them. We wake up, check our phones, manage the chaos, put out fires, collapse into bed, and do it all over again. And somewhere in the blur, we miss it—the quiet goodness woven through ordinary hours.

"I'm just so tired. I know I should be grateful, but I feel empty."

Ever thought this? I have.

Here's what I'm learning: Gratitude isn't a performance we put on when life feels good. It's a practice we cultivate even when—especially when—we're running on fumes.

The Psalms are full of this kind of gutsy, intentional thanksgiving. David literally tells himself to praise God: "Praise the LORD, I tell myself" (Psalm 103:1).

It's not automatic. It's a choice. A remembering. A deliberate turning of our attention toward what's true about God, even when our circumstances are screaming something else.

And here's the beautiful mystery: When we remember God's goodness to us, something shifts inside. And that shift? It starts to overflow.

Suddenly, we're noticing the people around us differently. We're speaking words of life instead of criticism. We're giving grace because we've received it. We're generous because we've been lavished with abundance we didn't earn.

Thanksgiving isn't just vertical—it's horizontal too. The way we receive God's love transforms the way we extend love to others.

Before you close this email, I want to invite you into one small experiment:

Tonight, before you go to sleep, name three specific things God has done for you—not generic "blessings," but actual and specific moments of His presence, provision, or protection.

Maybe it's:

• The way He gave you patience when...

• The unexpected text from a friend exactly when you needed encouragement

• The job you still have, the health you're recovering, the relationship that's slowly healing

Then, choose one person in your life who needs to hear "thank you" from you tomorrow. Not a quick, obligatory thanks—but a specific, heartfelt acknowledgment of how they've blessed you or made your life better.

Watch what happens. In you. In them.

          👣This is gratitude with feet.👣           

Speaking of gratitude... Ladies...I'm so excited to invite you to our next Brave Space gathering!

"Cultivating Gutsy, Intentional Space for Genuine and Generous Gratitude"

A 90-Minute Journey Through Psalms 103-105

Here in the USA, we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving on November 27th—a day set aside nationally to pause and give thanks.

But no matter where you are in the world, I believe we all share this common human need: to remember what's true when life feels overwhelming, to anchor ourselves in gratitude when circumstances tempt us toward complaint.

Lately, I've been wrestling with my own heart. I can say "thank you" easily enough—the words roll off my tongue in prayers and conversations. But am I truly living from a place of thanksgiving? Or am I just performing gratitude on the surface while underneath, I'm still grasping, anxious, and ungrateful for what I actually have?

That's the uncomfortable question the Holy Spirit has been pressing into my own soul lately, and I'm learning that authentic thanksgiving requires me to go deeper than I am often willing to go.

And so, this gathering was born—not from a place of arrival, but from my own need to wrestle with what genuine gratitude looks like, feels like.

RSVP as GUEST for Nov 20th Brave Space

Ladies...This won't be a "count your blessings" cheerleading session. (You know that's not how we roll in The Brave Space.)

Instead, we're going to create sacred space to get honest—about where gratitude flows easily andwhere it feels impossible. About what blocks our thanksgiving. About the difference it makes in our understanding when we realize the true essence of what "giving thanks" really means.

We'll journey through some of the most beautiful passages of Scripture on God's character—Psalms 103-105—not just reading them, but letting them read us. Letting them reveal where we've forgotten who God really is and what He's truly done.

Here's what you can expect:

✨ Guided Silence & Reflection — Time to get quiet and honest with God about your real relationship with gratitude right now (not the Facebook or Instagram version)

✨ A Powerful Visual Experience — We'll engage our hearts through carefully chosen images that help us see God's goodness in new ways and remember what we so easily forget

✨ Deep Group Coaching & Discussion — We'll process together what God is stirring, ask brave questions, and listen deeply to each other's journeys without fixing or judging

✨ Spirit-led invitation forward — You'll leave with a tangible plan for taking small, faithful steps toward cultivating a life of overflowing gratitude

 Join us!

Here's what I know: The Thanksgiving season can be complicated.

For some of us, it brings joy and celebration. For others, it surfaces grief, loneliness, or the ache of unmet expectations. Some of us are walking through seasons where "giving thanks" feels like one more thing we're failing at.

But what if this gathering became a safe place to bring all of it?

What if you could be honest about where thanksgiving is hard and discover that God meets you there with more tenderness than you imagined?

What if you left this gathering not with guilt about what you're not doing, but with fresh vision for what God is already doing and a genuine hunger to notice His goodness everywhere you look?

That's my prayer for us.
