Start Where You Are Note Cards

This is a beautiful box with twelve cards and envelopes.  Each are different with inspirational sayings. I love the soft colors of each card.  I personally think it is better to buy this box and send out cards than buy each card individually at a store, the quality and beauty of each card will show the receiver how special you think they are.

Of Mess and Moxie by Jen Hatmaker

From the publisher:
In this highly anticipated new book, beloved author Jen Hatmaker parlays her own triumphs and tragedies into a sigh of relief for all normal, fierce women everywhere. Whether it’s the time she drove to the wrong city for a fourth-grade field trip (“Why are we in San Antonio?”) or the way she learned to forgive (God was super clear: Pray for this person every day, which was the meanest thing He ever said to me. I was furious.), she offers a reminder to those of us who sometimes hide in the car eating crackers that we do have the moxie to get back up and get back out. We can choose to live undaunted “in the moment” no matter what the moments hold, and lead vibrant, courageous, grace-filled lives.

This is my first Jen Hatmaker book. I heard/read so many good things about her previous book that I wanted to read her newest book.  Early in this book I felt like Jen was sitting with me and talking as a friend to a friend.  It wasn't heavy but laughter inducing, while at the same time it spoke to deep truths that my heart is struggling with and longs for. 

Jen Hatmaker has a beautiful writing skill that allows her to touch the hearts of the readers through humor and yet deep, deep truth without making it overwhelming or a book you have to slog through.

This book made me wish I could get together with Jen because she was so vulnerable and personable in this book.

I am so glad I go this book and look forward to getting more of her books in the future!

I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
