  • Design a simple life.

    Every day, more stuff comes into our lives: stuff in our home, stuff on our calendar, and stuff cluttering our minds. All that stuff gets in the way of where we really want to go and who we really want to be … it’s time to make a change.

    It’s time to get rid of the excess and focus on the essentials.

    It’s time for the clarity and peace of mind that come from paring down. It’s time for the freedom and confidence that come from making your own best choices. It’s time to design a simple life.

    We want to help you figure out what’s getting in your way, at home and at work. We want to help you let go of distractions, online and off. We want to help you turn down the noise that disrupts the quiet of your heart and soul.

    We don’t have all the answers, but we’re on the path toward lives of purpose and simplicity, and we’re figuring it out together.

  • A compilation of wisdom from women who know anxiety firsthand.

    C.S Lewis once said, “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”

    That’s our hope with this devotional anthology. That, even if you feel that you are all alone in the struggle of anxiety, you will see that you have friends here that get it, too. 

    Each contributing writer has grappled with anxiety and has given us an example of a verse that is a pocket of peace that they have found within God’s word.

    As you read through their words, my prayer is that you will feel a little less alone and a bit more understood.
