Reading List Printables to Keep Track of All Your Books
For everyone who could use help keeping track of books you’re reading, I’ve created reading list printables that will make your reading life more organized.
If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time reading and thinking about books, and it can be a little challenging to keep track of them all. (Books have a known tendency to be a little wild…)

Q&A with Katerina: “Even if you feel alone, God will always be by your side.”
Today I get to introduce you to Katerina, who is a dancer and teacher, as well as a college student working towards a bachelors degree in psychology.
Last year she started a blog called Beauty in the Pain to share her journey with the neuromuscular disease CMT and encourage those who struggle with chronic pain.
I’m so glad she reached out for an interview because I’ve been so blessed to read how she is adapting her passion for dance and seeing God’s faithfulness in the midst of chronic illness.
I hope you’re encouraged by this conversation with Katerina on chronic illness, faith, and perseverance.

How to Make a Detective Themed Display Board
I have a friend who loves mysteries, especially Nancy Drew, and I wanted to make her a detective themed display board for her collection of pins and buttons.
Today’s project is a variation on a ribbon board or memo board—you’ve probably seen pictures of them with the ribbons neatly crisscrossed. I have one above my desk and use it to display cards, photos, and other ephemera. This is a great way to upcycle an unused frame or plain bulletin board.

A card making kit is a fun gift idea that lets the recipient get creative! One of my friends recently got into making her own cards, so I wanted to send her some fun paper and decorations that she can use to easily craft her own cards.

Q&A with Lauren Watt: “I’ve had to learn to find contentment in my difficult circumstances.”
I’m thrilled I get to introduce you to Lauren Watt, an artist and blogger who is going to share some of her story and how she finds contentment in chronic illness.
Lauren is the youngest interviewee I’ve featured on the blog so far, and she writes with wisdom and clarity about her chronic illness journey, which began when she was just 14.
I’ve really enjoyed reading her blog after we connected online, and I hope you’ll check out her artwork and blog on her website, Lauren’s Easel.

Q&A with Leah: “It’s okay to feel different and talk about it.”
I’m excited to introduce you all to my friend Leah in this invisible illness Q&A. We’ve been friends as well as pen pals for over half my life.
Leah and I quickly bonded over our love for animals and books as kids, and we’ve encouraged each other in our faith, especially when we’ve both faced health challenges. Leah is one of the most kind-hearted people you will ever meet, and my hope is that you will take encouragement from her story.
I love getting to do this interview project—it’s wonderful to connect with other bloggers and it’s also such a privilege to provide a platform for people like Leah who do not have a blog. I’m passionate about helping people with chronic illness share their insights and hard-earned wisdom, both so they feel heard and also so they can make a difference by sharing what they know. You can find out more about being interviewed here.
