As we approach the Winter Solstice this Sunday, we're diving deep into what to expect in winter and how it shows up in our daily lives over the next few months. We share three questions to review what served you best in Spring, Summer and Fall, what you need to let go of and how to find light in the darkness this holiday season. You can download the Winter Purpose Page here and take it along with you to your holiday dinner as a conversation starter - www.seasonswithpurpose.org!

Our main goal for winter? Pruning. This is your official reminder that not everything needs to be carried into the next season with you.

- What do I need less of this winter?

- What are the biggest blessings of winter?

- What can I focus on this winter to get the most out of it?

Today we're diving again into seasons of parenting, this time in the adoption world with my friend and neighbor Sara Freeman. We cover the truths of the adoption process, what they prayed for through all of the ups and downs of the process and the joy it's brought to the parenting triad - her and her husband, the biological parents and the adopted child.

Sara and her husband Shawn are the proud parents of a 9 year old son and two daughters - ages 23 and 7. Sara was born and raised in West Virginia before meeting the love of her life, getting married and moving to Loudoun County Virginia. She loves football, tattoos and will pick a book over a TV show any day. Her favorite moments in life are sitting in her family room with her family, cuddled up on the couch on a cold winter day!

As I reflect on what I'm most thankful and grateful for this year, I wanted to share this story of a tough scoliosis diagnosis that my oldest received earlier this year and what we all learned in it. I'll cover the inconsistency in the industry right now, how we navigated them by continuing to ask questions and where we are nine months later! My prayer is that this helps anyone who has just received a Scoliosis diagnosis or is battling any medical diagnosis at this time.

I mention in the episode the program that we chose for our family and my daughter's situation that you can learn more about here - https://treatingscoliosis.com/. However, every diagnosis is different and please consult with multiple doctors before choosing the path that's right for you and your curve!
