Eva Marie Workshops

LOVE, GRATITUDE + PRAISE

We had a spring tease here in the northeast last weekend. It was in the 60s on Friday and Saturday, then Sunday we had four inches of snow! This week’s weather will also be a tug-of-war between seasons. Spring is pushing winter out, and I’m ready! Did you celebrate Valentine’s …

Signs and Signals

Thank you for reading and sharing your hearts and encouraging words with me in response to last week’s blog post. I appreciate all the text messages, phone calls and cards. It’s good when we feel safe to open up and express our thoughts and feelings. I’m back to my old/young …

Down Days

With the arrival of February, we’re one month closer to spring here in the Northeast, and daylight is getting longer again. This past Wednesday (February 2nd) was Groundhog Day, which coincides with an ancient holiday celebrating the return of light. I’m so happy! January hasn’t been an easy month for …

Truth Matters

This is the last Friday of January, and for some of us, it’s been a busy start to the new year. Have you accomplished all that you’ve wanted this month? Are you ready to take on 2022 with goals and an action plan? I’m still working on mine. I’ve mapped …

Happy New Year

Can you believe 2022 has arrived? I hope you’re enjoying restarting after the holiday. I hit the ground running. My first week of 2022 has been busy and productive. Last week I spent time reviewing last year’s accomplishments. Have you taken the time to do that? It was an encouragement …

Holiday Blues

It’s the second week of December, and I’m in full Christmas season swing. Are you (if you observe Christmas)? I’m not doing a lot of decorating because we’re going away for Christmas. My husband and I are excited to be together again in person with our children and grandchild after …

The Right Ingredients

I hope all of you had a nice Thanksgiving. This year we started a new family tradition. Our grandson, who is eleven, cut down the Christmas tree. The official Christmas tree saw has been passed on to him. He’s a city boy, but secretly, I think there’s a little country …
