Looking for a way to simplify? I highly recommend this book, filled with practical, step-by-step tips—not a thousand things to make you feel guilty that you're not doing.

Also, this week's prayer prompt calendar (free to download!) is based on some thoughts from the book ... Check it out!

If you're in the vicinity, I'd love to have you join me at one of these upcoming book club meetings to discuss The Artist, Ladoga, Indiana! Books available from me at the studio anytime, in person at each of these meetings, or through the humongous online retailer of everything we think we need but probably don't :-). Also should be able to be ordered through your independent book store, Barnes & Noble, and others.
