Read, Walk and Talk

Over the years, as a fitness instructor, leading my Read, Walk & Talk program each fall and spring has become one of the highlights of my year.

This spring, we journeyed through Breathe by Bonnie Gray, reading throughout the week and then gathering on Tuesdays for our walk-and-talk discussions. As always, the conversations were meaningful, honest, and life-giving.

One of the greatest blessings of this program is that many of the women who join each season return year after year. Because of that, our conversations have moved far beyond surface-level topics. Together, we've shared struggles and victories related to our health, our families, our friendships, and life in general. We've laughed together, prayed for one another, offered encouragement, and witnessed healing happen in beautiful ways.

New friendships have formed. Deep connections have grown. And each season I walk away grateful for the privilege of being part of these women's journeys.

I never take it for granted when someone says "yes" to one of my classes or programs. To trust me to walk alongside you for a season of life is a gift and an honor. The truth is, we're all learning as we go, and I feel incredibly blessed that God allows me to be part of the process.

So, to every woman who has walked and talked, laughed, shared, prayed, and grown with me—thank you. Our next read will be Girls with Swords; How to Carry your Cross like a Hero; by Lisa Bevere.
