Books, tees, indie makers, & it's almost Advent!
Hey there,
This is just a quick hello as I wave from my week of hanging with my family, so letâs get right to it, shall we?

5 Quick Things âď¸
1. âItâs my sincere hope and prayer that everyone reading these words will find comfort and encouragement to move into the Advent season just as you are.â Words of encouragement from my dear friend Katie.
2. Advent indeed begins this Sunday, November 29! You can still order Shadow & Light because weâre now giving you the introduction + week one free as an instant digital download when you order the hard copy â head here.
3. I created a book-centric gift guide for you! (And Bookshop is offering free shipping from today through Monday, November 30, so take advantage and support indie bookshops with your online ordering.)
4. Teepublic is also offering 35% off right now, so itâs a great time to finally get an At Home in the World tee (tip: get the menâs tri-blend). Iâm ordering another one myself.
5. And finally, hereâs my gift recommendations on Etsy. Support indie makers, too! Theyâve got up to 60% certain items this week.
Quotable đŹ
âI like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.â

Advent Countdown: 2 Days! â¨
Yep, it starts this Sunday, November 29 â but join in when you can. Youâre not âlateâ if youâre not ready this weekend. Remember, Advent is a gift, not a requirement or to-do list. Itâs an invitation to slowly exhale, welcome the season gradually, and take a posture of anticipation.
If youâre in the Community Iâll pop in to say hello on Sunday! And remember, even if you order now, youâll get the introduction + week one digitally for free, for easy instant access.
Have a good weekend!

p.s. This still makes me laugh. Maybe an upside to staying home more this year?
