It’s a goal of mine to journal daily in my morning routine, and include at least one thing I’m grateful for, what about you?
Speaking of morning routines, one of the original members of The Vendors Circle, Trenda, and I did a collaboration of simple daily devotions for you for November.
She curated 15 of them, and I curated 15 of them. It’s perfect if I say so myself!
Just go to this link to grab it: https://www.bridepath.com/novemberdevotions
There’s also a bonus on the page for a downloadable wallpaper for your phone so the verses are handy for you, and even a printable bookmark for you to keep in your journal or bible.
When you download those bonuses, you get to a page that tells Trenda’s story, and also a link where you can donate to Trenda’s foundation, Hearts, Hands, and Hope.
100% goes to Trenda’s amazing foundation.
I want to tell you a little bit of her story here real quick.
This is how Trenda’s foundation was born, in Trenda’s own words:
"We tend to go through life thinking, 'cancer will never happen to me'.
We feel empathy for those close to us when they receive a diagnosis, but honestly, we don’t give that diagnosis the credit and respect it deserves because it’s not us.
That changed drastically for us when in 2016, both my mom and I were diagnosed with breast cancer within one week of each other.
I had just met the love of my life, Paul, and upon my diagnosis, I gave him a free pass to walk away as he didn’t sign up for a girlfriend with cancer.
He told me to be quiet and get in the car.
He drove me to the courthouse and married me the same day.
What doctors don’t tell you, or prepare you for, is the whirlwind of emotions, doctor appointments and decisions that one has to make once diagnosed.
My mom and I both had to have the bi-lateral mastectomies and then I had to start my chemo treatments after that. I found myself, all in a matter of a day, being angry, scared, frustrated and doubtful.
My self-confidence plummeted.
I found myself wishing that someone would take just 5 minutes and talk with me, face-to-face, and be honest with me.
Paul and I needed to know and hear that what we were going through was normal and that we weren’t alone.
It was those feelings that formed Hearts, Hands and Hope Foundation.
We support women, and their families, who are battling breast cancer, and other forms of cancer, to ensure their battle is easier for them."
