The Gift of a Pace Change

Written By Katie Goar

Is it time to turn on the out-of-office reply?
This stretch of the calendar does something interesting ... especially for the road warriors among us.

The travel slows.
The pace shifts.
Home becomes the backdrop again, not just a pit stop.

I catch myself daydreaming about simple things: purging closets, organizing storage rooms, finally opening the stack of books thatโ€™s been waiting all year.

Nothing flashy. Just space, order, and a quieter rhythm.

This season invites us to take inventory, not just of our homes or calendars, but of ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐žโ€™๐ซ๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ .

Whatโ€™s been working.
Whatโ€™s been heavy.
What weโ€™re ready to release.

And that preparation might be the most productive thing we do all year.
