That Just Stinketh

How the Hard Can Bring About the Good

Hello Reader,

Last month, I slipped into your inbox reporting on a season of abundant blessings and few bumps and bruises. While I'm grateful I'm nearly back to full function after my riding accident, I'm still feeling the physical impact of the injury, along with several other personal events that felt like an emotional roller coaster.

Maybe you can relate?

Things were so crazy hard that my husband started saying, "That just stinketh." He's known for throwing a King James Version of the Bible expression into the vernacular to get me to lighten up a bit.

Yes, sometimes, life just stinketh.

And yet, stinketh experiences may also be exactly what we need.

They can refine us by challenging us to see where our foundation is shaking and what needs tending to.

They can invite us to hit pause and re-evaluate our priorities.

They can push us in a new direction that we might have been avoiding out of fear.

They can help us break free and uncover our true selves.

Stinketh seasons don't have to be wasted.

Breaking free would require learning to feel, learning to distinguish feeling and thinking, and finally, summoning the courage to follow my God-given "true self" rather than the voices and demands around me.

- Peter Scazzero

Oh friend, this is exactly what the last five years filled with stinketh seasons have been for me. The breaking free has been HARD, but thanks to my training as a therapist, I could see the roadmap and was determined not only for my sake but also for the impact on my clients and my family.

It's been so worth it!

There is nothing like uncovering my God-given "true self" as I resist the voices and demands around me!

Can you imagine this for yourself?

How I want this for you!

Friend, I've never felt so liberated and free, even in the middle of the hard. It is like I can hear God in such tender and intimate ways. As my authentic self is emerging boldly, long-standing lies and wounds are healing deeply!

If it took the stinketh to get here, I'm grateful!

I don't know what stinketh is happening in your life, but I want you to know I get it. And I am holding out hope for your healing and growth.

I'm here for you when you're ready to do your deep work.

Don't hesitate to book a call.

Together, let's stabilize and thrive from the inside out!
