Brave Girls Club - Soul Comfort eCourse
Today I’m offering a giveaway here on my blog to a seat in the upcoming class Soul Comfort over at Brave Girls Club!
Wondering what is Soul Comfort all about? I’m so glad you asked!
To the tired, the exhausted, the overstretched…here’s an invitation…

Life can be simple.

What if we celebrated the brave act of….taking a break?
What if simplicity, comfort, and quiet were the goal?
What if there really was a way to quiet the chatter in our minds and let us recharge our body & soul?
And what if it was fun, too?
Soul Comfort is a fresh new concept using art and journaling as a means to relax and comfort yourself and to get grounded while dealing with the craziness of every-day living.
This course is full of beautiful projects to fuel your creativity in very simple and easy ways that are meditational and relaxing , beautiful comforting things that will have your soul infused into them so that you want to keep them forever.
Brave Girls Club - Melody RossMelody (course creator and teacher) says, “I want to teach you some new habits of creativity mixed with simplicity that I have learned over the years. Being a recovering hoarder of supplies and techniques, this is really a new way to give yourself permission to do things simply but beautifully.
One of the most wonderful things about this course is that everything fits into one fabric tote bag . . . I wanted to create a whole course where all of the supplies fit into a tiny space so that you could take it everywhere you go…so that you could do it sitting on your bed, on your couch, with your family, do it with your children, in the car, wherever your day takes you. It’s incredible. This has changed my life. This has been something that I have used on my own and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Catching Up With Life

I haven't been on here for awhile, not that I don't have a whole lot to write about, I have tons.  Life has taken some pretty dramatic turns over the past year.  I am on a journey that has profound sadness with the end of my 20 year marriage and incredible happiness at finding my way and being exactly where I need to be.  So over the next few weeks I will be catching up my story here, making posts about how I have come to the place I am now and why I feel so grateful for listening to the whispers of my heart and for all the Divine intervention along the way.  I witness miracles every single day and although it has not been an easy road, I am happy and full of peace and joy.  So let's get started!
Last Fall, I was definitely at a crossroad, a place that was becoming all too familiar to me.  My life was going in an annual cycle or discontentment, committing to try harder, a period of artificial peace and then back to the uncomfortable place that things were not right in my world.

I took a day to hang out in Zion, one of the most sacred and spiritual places on earth.  It's good to come here and take in the beauty, to feel small at the feet of the Creator and to worship at the Court of the Patriarchs.  It was a beautiful day.

I had been through the Brave Girls Course of Soul Restoration II earlier in the year, I was just beginning Soul Restoration I,  It was time to take a good hard look at my soul house, yep, it was in a lot of disrepair.  The only thing left to do was close it down for restoration.  Time to take a good look inside and see just what I had become through the years of not taking care of myself, of letting people into my house that had worn out their welcomes, of always being the one that gave everything and really got little in return.  I shut my soul house down and set about doing the work to restore my soul.  Best choice in a long, long time.
The seasons changed and so did I
