Happy Friday friends and Happy St. Nicholas Day! I hope that you have had the most wonderful week! As I look back on this week, I am incredibly grateful for all of your prayers for mom and her heart procedure that she had done last Tuesday. It is absolutely amazing to me that it has only been little more than a week and we are so grateful for all of your prayers. We are in the city for a follow up appointment and grateful to be on this side of the procedure.
I wanted to also take a moment to say thank you to all of you who shared things that are going on in your life and ways that I can be praying for you. There are so many of you that are going through such difficult things and I am truly so sorry. I am keeping each of you in my prayers.
Thank you again for making this such a lovely community and space that I come to each day! I am so grateful for the Caravan Sonnet community!
Here are some of my favorite things from this past week! First of all....
If you missed my post this week about Winston- we have adopted an adorable little 12 week old kitty that we have named Winston. You can read all about him HERE!
I receive so many emails each week from y'all looking to encourage and support friends with chronic illnesses and I hope that this post, 17 Ways to Help a Friend with a Chronic Illness During the Holidays will be helpful! I am so grateful for your heart for those walking that journey! You can find it HERE!

*****5 Star Rated*****
This is the first and only Lyme Specific Advent and Christmas Devotional for Lyme Warriors. Here is a brief description of the book from the press release:
"When Light Dawns" is the first and only Lyme Patient specific book for the Advent & Christmas season. This book features daily reflections that will inspire & give hope to Lyme Warriors. Containing a daily reflection & song for each day of the Christmas Season (from the last week of November through the first week of January) "When Light Dawns" can be used as a simple encouragement to the weary heart or as a guided devotional study. However it is used, "When Light Dawns" will provide encouragement & give new meaning to the popular phrase, "Holiday preparations" this season.
You can find it where books are sold and on Amazon HERE!
Book 2 in the Chronic Grace Series
This is the first and only Chronic Illness Specific book related to the idea of what to pray, what to do, and what to say (releasing in 2025) for Chronic Illness patients. Here is a brief description of the book from the press release:
This book is written for those with a heart and desire to practically meet someone struggling through the confusing and difficult road of a chronic health condition this holiday season. Often those who long to walk the journey of a chronic health condition with their loved ones ask from a sincere place, "How can I really help this holiday?" but feel at a loss of where to start. This book is filled with unique and one-of-a-kind ideas for this holiday season that will be a wonderful "jumping off point" for you to be reaching out to those whom you love that struggle with chronic health issues and their loved ones.
You can find it on Amazon HERE!
