March 2025 Heart Letter


March 2025

Happy March! Ahhhhh... Spring is just around the corner. Goodbye, Winter. You have been full of hard, heavy, and sad days. Hello Spring. Come quickly and please bring a lot of warm sunshine with you!

New Website!

(And new Newsletter!)

I love to learn and enjoy a good challenge. Building a new website from scratch was one of the most challenging things I have ever done. It's still a work in progress, but it's good enough to send you on over to take a look.

Most of my previous blog posts are there, and many more to come. I may also eventually host my monthly Heart Letter newsletters there (when I figure that out). I'd love to know what you think. Was it easy to navigate? Any suggestions?

Thanks for checking it out.

New Blog Post

Winter Reflections

Winter is almost over (thank you, Jesus) and Spring is just around the corner. Head over to my website to read my latest blog post about my Winter Reflections.

Book of the Month

I'm a proud Momma! My son wrote a book of poetry. It is so good. I know I'm biased, but really, it is!

Podcast (and Book)

Listen to my latest favorite podcast, and then buy this book. You will begin to "Let Them," which will give you more time and energy to live your life.

Holy Forever

I encourage you to grab a cup of coffee or tea and just sit for a minute. Listen to this beautiful song, sing along, and worship our God.

Essential Oils

After 11 years, I continue to say yes to using these life-changing oils. This starter bundle is a great way to get started. The diffuser is dreamy!

These oils can be used in so many ways!

  • Combine Thieves essential oil blend with witch hazel for an air-cleansing room spray.
  • Put a few drops of Purification essential oil blend on cotton balls and place them in air vents to eliminate odors.
  • Diffuser Lavender essential oil to create a restful environment before bed.
  • Dilute Peppermint essential oil and rub it on your chest for a refreshing breathing experience.
  • Roll Deep Relief Roll-On onto muscles and joints after a workout.
  • Glide Stress Away Roll-On onto your temples for a moment of calm after a challenging day.
  • Diffuse 8–10 drops of essential oils in the FreshStart Diffuser to freshen the air and set the scene for work, play, or rest.

From my heart to yours... thank you for reading my Heart Letter! I hope you found some helpful and fun things, were encouraged, maybe challenged, and filled with hope!

See you next month!

❤️ Nancy

October 2025 Hello, friends! Happy October! I'm chasing beauty during this Fall season. I watched a podcast that was about finishing the sentence, I just don't see how people live without _________. The guest on the show answered with the word beauty and then proceeded to explain his answer. It was encouraging to me and so inviting. Each day I'm trying to remember to ask, "How can I chase beauty today?" Here are some ways I have been chasing beauty. I walked outside and noticed the...

September 2025 Hello, friends! It's September, and I'm not sure how it is almost Fall. I am convincing myself that Fall is great and Winter is even better. (My favorite season is Summer!) I am looking forward to the pumpkin farms, chili and soups on repeat, football, Great American Family/Hallmark movies, and this year I think I will find me a big red juicy candied apple. It's been a very long time since I have eaten one of those. Ohhhh, apple orchards are fun too. That is where I can find a...

August 2025 Goodbye July and Hello August! July flew by and felt like three months, at the same time. I'm an administrator at a Christian School, and July is the busiest time of the year for our school's admin. team. The upcoming Labor Day break will surely be welcomed. I'm never ready for Summer to be over, but I sure am ready for a more "normal" school routine. The "ber" months are almost here- September, October, November, December. What are you looking forward to most? I'm looking forward...
