Hey Reader heyyyyyyy!

My birthday was two days ago!

I wanted to wait to write you — so I could tell you how the day went.

It was beautiful.

🌅 A 4:45am sunrise drive with breathtaking views (pictured above)
🎙️ Recording a new podcast episode (coming soon!)
🏓 A quick hour of pickleball
🗺️ A birthday-freebie scavenger hunt with the kids! Lol
💆🏽‍♀️ A spa day with my Hubbae

Needless to say, this new trip around the sun is off to a joy-filled start.

But want to know why I was truly so grateful that day?

Because just a few years ago, a day like this would have felt impossible.

I would have felt guilty taking this time for myself.
Selfish, even.
Like I had to earn rest.

But God started changing that in me when He stamped John 4 on my heart.

The story of a tired, overlooked woman who meets Jesus at the well.

She came for water, weighed down with shame.
But she left with living water.​
Water that refreshed her spirit and soul.
Water that offered rest, peace, and abundant life.

That’s the vision behind JOYrney Daily™: RESTED & ROOTED.

Each day I pray for the women who are still:

• Holding it all together while falling apart
• Showing up for everyone while neglecting their own soul
• Longing for quiet but surrounded by noise

And through building a practice of daily meditation around God’s Words (over my own thoughts and fears) now I’ve:

✨ learned how to choose rest without guilt.
✨ learned to abide instead of hustle.
✨ learned to truly hear God in the quiet.

That’s what I want for you, too.

So if you could live out your DREAM day, what would it look like?

And if you’ve ever wondered:
​“Could I really carve out space for my own dream days?”​
​

I want you to know:
It is possible.
You deserve it.
You don’t have to wait for the “perfect time” to make them happen.

…And you definitely don’t need to figure it out alone.

✨ Applications for JOYrney Daily™: RESTED & ROOTED are open for one more day now.
✨ Founding Member pricing ends tomorrow.

I’d be honored to hold space for you in this next season.

Not your season right now? No worries. Just reply and say “Not now” — I’ll keep you in prayer!

With JOY,
Erica
