During the summer of 2017, I decided I needed a break.

 

Like many of my friends and former colleagues in Washington, D.C., I needed to slow down after several years of a fast-paced job and lots of life changes. That summer, as I worked to reset and create a new vision for my future, I shared my struggles and successes with friends – in person and via text – through quotes, questions and writing prompts. When my friends asked me to re-create that experience for them, I decided to put pen to paper. That is how Invincible Summer came to be. 

 

Invincible Summer: A 30-day Reflectional on the Power of Kindness was designed to mirror the way I spent those summer days – focusing on what I was grateful for, reflecting on different aspects of my life and doing something good for myself and others. I love quotes, so each day includes a quote and an accompanying Bible verse that has inspired me. 

 

While the idea of journaling can seem overwhelming, the prompts in Invincible Summer are designed for you to enjoy quiet time for however long you have it. Whether you have 5 minutes or 50 minutes, I hope you step out of the hustle and bustle of your everyday life and enjoy some quiet time to reflect and refocus.

 

May this 30-day journey help you to live more fully in the moment, celebrate the blessings in your everyday life and move closer to the person you hope to be.

 

 I look forward to hearing about your Invincible Summer.
