Your early bird habits may come back Laura, along with your energy. Mine did. Thank you for your posts.

Linda, your words give me hope! The evaporation of quiet morning time for prayer and writing has been such a big loss for me after cancer. I try to be patient (not a strong suit) so you're encouraging me to rest and take the long view.

Thanks, Linda. What I'd really love is to become a Barnes & Noble book affiliate, so that I could point people in the direction of a book business that is thriving and supporting authors. So writing the snarky little note to myself at the end here actually spurred me on to reach out to them again and inquire. I know Amazon has become a monolith in our lives, but I have such internal conflicts about my own continued purchases there!

“Christmas is past”

Traditionally it’s not past until this coming Sunday, Candlemas, so bring on the Christmas music!

Thank you for your work and for sharing these links. I also am working to divest myself from billionaires and further support local. I have seen that bookshop.org and thriftbooks also offer affiliate programs.

I read Give Us This Day. Love when you're the author! I actually took a photo of this week's and sent it to my husband. He's a fed employee, I'm a public school teacher, we need all the reminders this week that God is with us, among us, and in us.

What an excellent roundup. I just donated and placed an order for one of those prints - it was nearly impossible to pick just one! I want them all!!

I’m intrigued by this “daily lectio” and amen to severe health woes changing your “normal”.
