This week I am sooooo excited to spotlight Brandy Barr’s incredible story on the Dear Daughters Podcast. She found the way to extend ongoing forgiveness and grace after her husband’s infidelity. I am honored for her to share her hard yet hopeful story with you.

Brandy is a spiritual mama. Here are a few things you should know about Brandy:

• She was born and raised in Tyler, Texas, and moved to Austin in 1993 after she married her high school sweetheart.
• After 7 years of marriage, she discovered that her husband cheated on her. After counseling and another betrayal, they divorced.
• She is the mother of two boys, Taylor (21) and Jackson (16).

. Then something happened that surprised even Brandy. God prompted Brandy to get to know the woman her husband remarried. Here are a few of the incredible things that followed:

• Brandy invited the woman and her daughter to church.
• Brandy baptized the daughter.
• The women asked Brandy for forgiveness … and she was able to extend grace.
• She accepted Christ and Brandy baptized her.
• They all have Sunday dinners together.

The verse she went back to over and over is Matthew 6:33. So that’s what she tried to do every day.

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Brandy says that’s how God makes it good and he had not forsaken her. I pray that you seek God first. I pray that you can forgive when it feels impossible. And I pray that you listen to the Holy Spirit so He can help you live your one beautiful life.

Anxiety can make you feel all alone. Like you’re the only one. But you’re not. You are not alone. I had the privilege of meeting some of the loveliest, bravest women at my workshop last month and I want to spotlight some of the important things we uncovered together.

Here are a few of the things to know…

1. You can be free.
2. You are not alone.
3. There is joy on the other side of anxiety.
4. Listen closely to the hope you hear from God. 
5. Finding peace and freedom isn’t one size fits all.

I pray that you can find joy and freedom and peace … it’s not one size fits all, so my prayer is that you discover the steps you need to take, however big or small, so that you can love and live your one beautiful life.

Welcome to the Dear Daughters Podcast: Round Top Round Table edition! My daughters Sara and Emily are here with me to inspire you to all kinds of creativity! And we’re also here to let you in on all our secrets to make the most of the Round Top Antiques Fair.

Emily revealed that she feels like the best version of herself at Round Top (and loves the kettle corn). Sara loves staying in Round Top because she gets to flex a different creative muscle and be imaginative there. I love how freeing Round Top feels. It’s a whole beautiful experience! We hope you get to experience that feeling someday, too, in your creative mecca – wherever it may be.
