What’s Saving My Life
It’s time to welcome back our old friend who we get to hang out with every season. These episodes where I share what’s saving my life have become such a gift to me personally. The practice of naming and sharing what is making life full and good and connected is surprisingly integral, and I’m glad this is part of our rhythm here on the podcast. So today I’ve got ten things I’ll share that have been saving my life recently, and hopefully it will inspire you to make your own list.
