The holidays are over and maybe you experienced as I have the sluggishness that comes from overindulging or of letting slide your plan of health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I enjoyed many healthful foods, but even eating healthful foods in excess can create a heavy or tired feeling. Add in the treats and it\u2019s a recipe for sluggishness.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m now back to a more consistent routine of healthful living and I\u2019m pleased to say I am more alert and enthusiastic.<\/p>\n

How similar is our response when our spiritual sustenance is out of balance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without proper care of our spirits, we become spiritually lethargic.<\/h3>\n

If you find yourself confused, uncertain, discouraged, could your spiritual routine be lacking?<\/p>\n

Could you benefit from creating a more consistent spiritual practice?<\/h3>\n

For me, mornings have become my cherished time of scriptural study, pondering and journaling to feed my spirit. This time also enlivens my mind and body.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I encourage you to continue creating a cherished time to nurture your spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much love,
