Hello, friends! Hope your holidays have been stupendous and you are looking forward to a new year. Or maybe you feel a little trepidation like I do. To state it mildly, the last few years have been a bit intense, and I don’t know what surprises 2023 will bring.

As a child I loved surprises. I still do, somewhat, but I’m wary of the kind connected with sickness, the economy, politics, or the weather. Anybody out there raising their hand in agreement?

I see you, my friend. But I plan to keep moving forward and putting my hope in God, no matter what we see in the future…

I had a great time creating season 2 of the podcast and I believe I encouraged myself even more than my friends who listen in. But together we persevere, find joy, and dance into our future with the greatest dance partner of all…our heavenly Father.

So, here’s a reminder that the Determined to Dance podcast will resume in March. Maybe somewhere along the way, you missed an episode. Or two or three. Maybe you need a refresher on prayer, procrastination, or encouragement.

There are links to seasons 1 and 2 of the podcast further down the page, so please feel free to listen and enjoy. Better yet, download a few episodes so you can check them out anytime. You’ll find direct links to my podcast at any of these audio streaming services:

Thank you for your support and encouragement. It means so much to me…
