Gratitude. It’s something many of us strive to cultivate in our lives, and a common practice of doing this is to list out all the things we’re grateful for, right? We sit down to make a list of 10-20 things we’re grateful for, and pretty soon, we start to see our lives through a lens of gratitude! It’s quick, easy, and it works!

It’s beautiful how doing this simple practice can change the way we view our lives! And it can quite literally turn our whole day around, right? While this practice is absolutely wonderful, it’s possible to press into this gratitude even deeper and find a sense of greater authenticity within us.

It’s August and we’re in the dead-heat of the summer, so I thought it would be fun to share a round-up of books that I particularly love in the social justice space. While I read a lot of books focused on best practices and methodologies in this space too, these are books that eloquently balance engaging storytelling with informative knowledge. They’re perfect for a summer read. In fact, I think I’ve read all of these during the summer by the lake or pool, now that I think of it! Perhaps you have a summer vacay around the corner or you’re stretching out by the pool and you’d like a good book to read. Well, here are 5 of my favorites, comin’ at you fast!

As such, I thought it was appropriate timing to make our incredible earth the topic of discussion for another month, at least.

If I’m being honest, quarantine has NOT been a time to relax over here. If anything, I’ve been WAY busier – just the way I prefer it to be though! But I have taken way more walks than usual, and that’s where many of these thoughts were formed. So if you don’t like this one, blame it on the crazy quarantine thoughts, and if you do like it, well then I’ll take all the credit and attribute it to getting more fresh air and sunshine than usual! 😉

Oh friends! You’ve been asking how Lovelight Stories came to be and what lead me here… and I know that while I’ve shared bits and pieces, I haven’t necessarily shared the full story, until now! I’ve prayed long and hard about what level of detail I should share here and considering this is the first […]
