Winter Journaling Sojourn-Cross Country Cancer: Embodying Joy: A Heart Journal

Send us Fan Mail*GREAT news! We have fixed our microphone issue! *Today's prompt is at 11:06Today, enjoy the audio release of my memoir, Embodying Joy: A Heart Journal, Chapter 14, with somatic meditative journaling: stretching, taking some cleansing relaxing breaths, reflecting on the anchor of Faith, and finally settling into the page with our new meditative music, "Balance of Self," to set the margins for your pen, discovery, and appreciation.Chapter 14 is titled, "Just a Phone Call Away," (2013-2015) and details the memory of feeling the world shift as I felt a tug from the Universe to leave the past and New York State behind. In starting a new life in the High Rockies with my beau (who I married in 2016), I also left parts of my heart half way across the country. It is also a tale of Cross Country Cancer-being just a phone call away proved to be especially tricky when my younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Today's chapter focuses on the possibilities God creates when we open ourselves to what Martha Beck loves to call "the way of integrity."Today's Sacred Word is from Luke 1:37 (ESV).Today's research is from The National Cancer Institute.A beautiful, bittersweet chapter and prompt of gratitude for your heart to remember to never entertain the "impossible" when it comes to God's loving and sovereign Hand.The Winter Sojourn series will lead up to the re-release of my memoir, complete with a revised title, new cover, and three new stories. Coming Spring 2026! *Catch up on recent season 6 episodes and chapters 1-13 in previous podcast seasons!*Chapter 13 we had some audio issues but thankfully these are resolved!Ready to Journal Up toward the best in you?
