SUMMARY:Shepherd's Heart Banquet
DESCRIPTION:Shepherd’s Heart is a counseling ministry of care and restoration. I have personally been greatly impacted by multiple counselors\, which is a huge part of my personal story of healing. I am honored to get to share a section of poems as well as original songs to meet the banquet’s theme of God’s power and goodness meeting us in seasons of weakness. Hannah Peters will join me for the music portion. If you would like to hear how Shepherd’s Heart is affecting lives in the greater Southwest Michigan area and would like to see how you can contribute to their cause\, please consider attending this fundraising banquet!

SUMMARY:A Day of Workshops for Women
DESCRIPTION:Calvary Bible Church is offering a whole day of workshops to women of all ages and backgrounds. \nMy workshop is 9:00-11:00 and will be a guided poetry experience. See below for the description: \nWho walked beside you when life felt heavy? Who made you feel seen\, heard\, or understood in ways that changed your heart? Who guided your steps or simply stood with you in silence? \nIn this workshop\, we will explore the practice of gratitude through poetry\, reflecting on those who have supported us in times of need. Through a process of personal writing\, we’ll uncover the metaphors that best capture the impact of these pivotal relationships. This experience will invite you to express your appreciation in a deeply personal way\, tapping into emotions of gratitude and connection. \nTogether\, we’ll transform these reflections into poems and then bring them to life by writing them out on beautiful cards—so that you can share your words of thanks with the person who has made a difference in your life. \nCome prepared to honor the past\, celebrate the present\, and create something meaningful to share with someone who matters. \nREGISTER HERE \n
