Traveling back East always reignites my curiosity Traveling back East always reignites my curiosity for American history. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ¦…My Dad has raved about this book for years so itā€™s time I finally read it in honor of Americaā€™s 250th birthday. History is not my preferred genre so Iā€™m challenging myself a bit with this one, but David McCullough is an amazing author and I know it wonā€™t disappoint. Grateful as always for my local library for supporting my reading addiction! šŸ“š #emthewordenthusiast #davidmccullough #america250 #historicalreads #supportyourlocallibrary

I found this book when I was wading through some v I found this book when I was wading through some very big life decisions, and my oh my do I wish I had found it during previous seasons in my life as well. This book is like a tall glass of water. So liberating, refreshing and good for the soul. Not only does Emily give practical advice and practices to think through in each chapter, she also ends each one with a beautiful prayer that recentered my heart on what was most important and helped me take what I was feeling and thinking through directly to God. I canā€™t tell you how many times Iā€™ve heard from Christianā€™s not to listen to your heart or follow your heart because ā€œthe heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.ā€ While obviously that is scripture and I can respect where they are coming from when they make that claim, it has also caused a lot of confusion and doubt for me in my own spiritual discernment. This book helped me realize that sometimes I have prayed and ached for clarity and certainty from some outside source or sign, when God has already spoken to me through his word and my own desires and I can trust that if I am seeking him and walking in his will, he is leading me and directing my heart, even if itā€™s often just by one ā€œnext right thingā€ at a time. I connected deeply to this book, Emilyā€™s personal and poetic writing and the thoughtful questions and scriptures she shared. I have a strong feeling I will be returning to this book and will definitely be recommending it to friends whenever they are needing guidance and facing a season of major decision as well. Swipe for some of my favorite quotes and prayers šŸ¤ #emthewordenthusiast #thenextrightthing #emilyfreeman #lifedecisions #christianbookreview

thankful for strong coffee, sweet clients and supp thankful for strong coffee, sweet clients and supportive familyā€¦ couldnā€™t survive this season without them! my creative output may look different this time of year, but busy seasons donā€™t last forever and Iā€™m learning that I actually enjoy my writing time more when I take the pressure off myself and just lean in where I can. on this day that meant journaling and doing reading for inspo and market research, but when Iā€™m working long hours, Iā€™m just happy when I can make any progress on my goals at allā€¦ looking forward to when I get back more margin in my days and space in my brain which will be soon because ITā€™S TAX DAY!! šŸ„³šŸ’»šŸ—‚ļø #ditl #corporatecreative #emthewordenthusiast #dayinthelife #creativepursuits

tbh I wasnā€™t going to share this after I literally tbh I wasnā€™t going to share this after I literally fell asleep on the couch after doing dishes and didnā€™t have the energy to write in the evening, buuuut then I remembered how it encourages me when people are *actually* real on this space and I want to be one of those people too. NEWS FLASH we arenā€™t machines and we canā€™t expect ourselves to run at 100% capacity 100% of the time. I may have only written for about 20 minutes on this day but itā€™s still 20 minutes more than Iā€™d had before! Small steps forward are still steps forward. Stay tuned for another day in the life because even though I didnā€™t get as much done as Iā€™d wanted to this still inspired me to stay on track! Also if you work in public accounting I feel your pain. Just a few weeks left though! We got this! #emthewordenthusiast #dayinthelifeofanauthor #dayinthelife #diml #taxseason
