From REALIFE Conversations from the Porch · 11:10
Show by Teresa McCloy
It has been a couple of months, and I am so glad to be back with you, friends. I have moved the porch indoors for the cold Illinois November, but the conversation is the same. In this episode, I catch you up on what God has been doing in me this year and why I stepped away from the podcast for a season. Then I read the foreword to my new book, Rest Notes: A Year of Quiet Noticing, which releases for presale on November 9.If you are in a season of transition, I hope these words meet you right where you are.In this episode:Why I took a break from the podcast and what I felt God inviting me intoHow a year of Sunday Sabbath writing, beginning on my 64th birthday, became a bookThe story behind Rest Notes, which grew out of more than 2,500 consecutive days of writing Extraordinary MomentsA reading of the book's foreword, including how to use the book (you do not have to start in January or at week one)What is coming on the podcast between now and Christmas: one reading from the book each weekAbout the book: Rest Notes: A Year of Quiet Noticing includes 52 weekly reflections, each with a blessing prayer and three questions for reflection. It is filled with photographs from a year of my life and has room to write in the margins. It is a hardback, coffee table size book (almost 8.5 x 11) in full color, and it follows the rhythm of the year through ordinary time, Advent, Lent, Easter, and the long growing days of summer.Quote to carry with you: "The ordinary days are not the ones in between the meaningful ones. They are the meaningful ones."Presale details:Order directly from us at therealifeprocess.com/restnotesGet an autographed copy and add the digital journal to write inSpecial pricing when you order five books, a lovely option for holiday giftsStay connected:Learn more about the book and join our free community (including the book community) at therealifeprocess.comSubscribe to the podcast so you do not miss a weekly readingShare this episode with a friend who could use a little rest
