Love the pairing of “with God” and “what’s mine?” Wow! Such good reminders! I’m totally going to try that power hour suggestion too! Thank you!!

Thanks, friend. Let me know if you try a Power Hour...I like that you can basically put anything into it that you want to, great for a morning prayer time, too.

First time seeing your post (I’m fairly new to Substack) but loved, loved, loved it! That you for sharing! I am so going to start power hour today……sometimes there are so many responsibilities & people in my life I get overwhelmed & get in a tizzy… I believe this will help. Loved seeing your artwork/pictures, too.

Blessings to you and yours! ~Tana

Love your drawings and how you named each subsection of your essay. Each part points to simple but profound gems I’m motivated to dig for more frequently throughout the day. Thank you for writing this!

Been thinking of your “with God” rock since I read your post Amazing what a game changer these two words are. Please keep writing.

Sim, thank you for taking the time to write this encouraging comment! It took me a little time to respond but I've thought about it several times this week.

So lovely to catch up on what’s happening in your world. I love seeing your sketches as always and I’ve the bright flowers painting and the self portrait.

Whenever I think of power hour, it reminds me of coaching hour that you pay a coach to help you with something. But I guess it can also work as “art date” for an hour.

I’m so curious to watch the doco about Steve Martin , I’ve heard so many good things about it. Thanks for sharing 💛

Hi Susan! I've been off Substack this week (on a fun trip!) and it's nice to come back and see your comments. I also see that you have a couple of new posts for me to catch up on.

Yes "power hour" as a name doesn't quite work for me. It makes me feel like I should be wearing a business suit (maybe I'm thinking of a "power lunch"?). Dipping my toes into reading, writing, and art-ing for an hour feels more like I'm pollinating my imagination!
