saturday loves #5

sharing posts and recommendations!

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well 😊

If you are new here, Saturday Loves is a new series here on The Lovely Road. This is where I will share other writers' Substack newsletters that I recently read and enjoyed and give them a creative "shout-out" as well as sharing what I have been interested in on a personal level outside of Substack.

Some writing news:

The lovely Sophie from Simple and Calm has a great series going on in which she interviews different people weekly on how they are living a more simple and more intentional life. I was lucky enough to be interviewed for her series and you can read all about it below!

"Start small. No need to overhaul your life in less than 24 hours"

Some personal news:

A few months ago, I mentioned that my family and I were planning to move to Pennsylvania. Well, some circumstances changed over the summer and different decisions were made. We are staying in California. We are on a different path than we initially expected but that is okay. God is good and we are making our way 🏵

What I've been listening to:

There was an episode of the Proverbs 31 podcast that I recently listened to that I found interesting. The episode was called "How to Overcome When You Feel Overwhelmed". I am a person that can become easily overwhelmed quite quickly so I appreciated what the women had to say in this discussion.

ICYMI:

I wrote a post this week about aging gracefully and how it is truly a gift to be able to get older in the first place. You can read it about it below.
