Spiritual Practice: Taking a Pause
Hello dear friends,
You’re probably wondering where I’ve been. Truthfully, since the election, I’m having trouble writing new blogs, so I thought I’d take a pause and focus on things that give me great joy.
Here is what I’ve been up to in the meantime.
I’m leading two retreats this year and would love to have you join me.
Tumbled People: Deconstructing and Reconstructing Your Faith will be held at Mercy Center in Auburn, August 29th-31st. You don’t have to have read the book to attend. Last year, when we did this retreat, it filled up, and people said it was “life changing’. Register Here.
The Come Away With Me: Press Pause Retreat will be in Virginia City, September 12th-14th. It also filled up quickly last year. This is a lightly guided retreat, a chance for renewing your connection with God, yourself, and others in a beautiful environment. Let me know if you’d like more information.

Book News
First: Wind Catcher, the sequel to Tree Singer, is out! You can find it on Amazon and hopefully other online retailers too. Here’s the link.
For those who haven’t read Tree Singer, it’s a Young Adult Fantasy, but loved by all ages. It follows Mayten, a young tree singer in training, who has to go on a quest to find out what is killing the forest. Recently, it was listed as #1 in Children’s Fantasy books!
Check out my recent interview on these books!
Here’s the book description for Wind Catcher:
Danger stirs beneath the island calm.
Sixteen-year-old Mayten Singer enjoys training young tree singers in the Forest Clan. When the king calls upon her for a new quest, however, her life is thrown into chaos.
Again.
Charged with selecting worthy candidates for the island’s future ruler, Mayten embarks on a journey that tests her wisdom, resolve, and connection to the natural world, uncovering a creeping darkness that threatens the Sun Clan, spreading shadows where once there was light. With the aid of a young Wind Catcher, Mayten must summon courage and strength to find a cure for the darkness before those closest to her die.
Also in Book News:
The audio for the WHOLE Finding Home Series is available soon. Any day. All five books: Bending Willow, Stretching Willow, Finding Willow, Willow’s Ride, and Willow’s Roundup. Great for kids aged 8 and up. So get ready to make your summer road trips more fun!
