Hard to believe that The PURSE-onality Challenge is officially over.

31 days of replacing "baditude" with God's word and gratitude + 9 warm-up days = 40 days (and nights!) of journeying together!

Looking Back

I'd love you to tell me about your May.
  • What worked?
  • What didn't work?
  • What are you learning?
  • What are others noticing?
  • What's changing?


Looking Forward

"Let's do it again!" 

Several e-mails have suggested this. I thought it tonight when I realized, rather sadly, that I didn't have a new verse to post on Facebook.

I'm planning to "do it again" in October, for sure. What better way to lay a strong foundation for a peaceful, hope-filled, joyous holiday season!

And I've got my eye on July. Perhaps as a time to supplement with more teaching on the PURSE-onalities... perhaps extra focus on gratitude... perhaps in-depth studies of not just verses but full stories from the life of Christ...
  • What other ideas come to mind?
  • What do you feel was missing/lacking?
  • What would you like to see added/included/elaborated?



The Here and Now

I am a collaborative learner (my favorite word is synergy!) so I expected to learn a lot by taking this journey with a bunch of other women. 

But I had no way of imagining (a) how great this bunch of women would be, and (b) how much I would be pushed, encouraged, and challenged to grow!

Looking back at the past 40 days, I am awash with with gratitude; all I can think to say is 

THANK YOU!!! 

...for reading and commenting

...for sending e-mails with your thoughts and experiences

...for letting me know that something I wrote made a difference for you. (I am still blown away to discover how many sister Anxiety Girls are out there!)

Looking forward, I will be spending the month of June slowly responding to all comments...something I regret I was unable to do during May. 

This weekend, I'll be putting together a few short surveys about various aspects of The PURSE-onality Challenge. I'll send them out next week.

And for right now, I'll leave you with my 2012 verse:

"And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart."  Ezekiel 36:26
