That letter I shared with you yesterday, I did send it to my friend. Her name is Holley Armstrong, and her new book You're Going to Be Okay just released today!
I wrote my letter in response to an exercise in her book . . .
"What are the words you have been using to describe who you are based on where you are in life right now."
I wrote . . .
1) depressed
2) worthless (I know better, but this is the lie I fight)
3) afraid
"To help shift your perspective, rewrite those words as phrases that show they aren't part of your identity."
This process was not only revealing, but it gave me the freedom to know that where I was, was not who I was. That even though my current circumstances were difficult, overwhelming even, I would be okay.
I finished my letter with these words: "I am loved. This is who I am." And then I breathed deeper than I have in days.
Holley is an incredible encourager, and her books breathe life into weary souls. In my life, they've literally been life-changing.
I hope you will consider joining us. Early Bird tickets are available now through April 22!
