Tell me something good.

Yes, life is hard -- and life is good.

Hi friends!

Tell me something good. Seriously, respond to the email with something good happening in your life right now.

Last night I asked a group of ladies what they do for fun, and it was a conversation-stopper. I. kid. you. not.

We’re so busy with work, our families, and keeping up with the latest news that we are not making time for ourselves. We are not slowing down to look at the good things happening all around us.

Yes, life is hard — and life is good. There should be joy and fun, at least in some seasons. Lately, I’ve started painting. I guess you would call it mixed media — gouache, watercolor, and oil pastels. It is something just for me.

This week I challenge you to do something just for you — even if only for 5 minutes. You deserve it!

always grace,

Amber Lea

This Week on Growth & Grace:

— Mindfulness is another word for prayerful attention to God’s presence right here, right now. It is simply becoming aware of God at this moment, without an agenda. On today's episode of the podcast, I'm going to talk a little about what spiritual mindfulness is and give you some tips on how you can cultivate this practice in your own life.

Currently on Repeat: I mean, do you blame me?

Question for transformation:

I believe that transformation happens when we allow ourselves to engage with good questions. Below is your weekly question for transformation. Think about it, journal it, or talk about it with a friend. If you want, share your response in the comment section.

How vulnerable are you willing to be if it leads to your healing?
