Summary

It’s the most wonderful time of the year here at Everything Happens. And you're invited to join along.

Advent is a season that leads us up to Christmas. And it is all about living with eyes wide open—seeing the world as it is, with all its cracks and flaws, and still holding on to the hope that everything wrong will one day be made right.

And if that sounds like your sort of thing, we made a free daily Advent guide just for you. It's filled with:

  1. daily reflections

  2. questions to mull over

  3. response activities

  4. opportunities to dive deeper

So, for today’s episode, I’m excited to share with you an excerpt from this year’s Advent guide. We’ll be exploring one of the days to give you a taste of what’s inside. Whether you’re following along with the guide or just listening in today, I hope this reflection speaks to you and brings a little more light into your day.

Look, I'd consider myself a pretty successful adult woman.

I've written books, founded two successful nonprofits, and I'm raising two incredible kids.
