Yes, you do! I just finished it today and thanked Kerry on Instagram for her real, honest look at what dying has taught her and what it can teach us - about how to live more fully. It was excellent.

That made me cry, thanks Jeannie. It got me thinking about all the things I can say yes or no to. It also got me thinking about why I am so hard on myself and choose to live in the dark instead of the light. My prayer is “open my eyes Lord, help me to see and choose your light which ultimately leads to freedom in You”.

You write beautifully and honestly about postpartum depression. I could relate. Also share your outlook about focusing on the elements you can control within your life.

Great read, Jeannie! I definitely agree with you about how much difference being intentional in what we say “yes” and “ no” to makes when life feels overwhelming. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Lisa. It's strange how grounding that can be - going back to the basics. I appreciate you!
