Sacred Collaboration | living the life you were created to live

Have you ever struggled with loving someone? Maybe it’s someone you work with or maybe it’s someone you live with. I am pretty sure we can all answer yes to having had this struggle and maybe you’re in the middle of the struggle now.   Another thing I’m pretty sure about is…it feels yucky!!   Sometimes when we are in the moment of aggravation we feel good thinking about how superior we are and how...

Today's episode might feel a little different. It’s more of a few things on my heart rather than one particular subject episode.   But it’s that time of the year right?!? We all start feeling pulled in different directions. And the panic of “feeling behind” can hit at any moment but I’m reminding you as I remind myself… we are good. We are going to walk intentionally through this season appreciati...

Happy New Week friends. I hope you are doing well. You might notice my voice sounds a little different as I have been fighting something the past several days and at times barely have a voice to speak. So hopefully it will hold up for me to get this recorded.    It’s our first Sunday episode in December and in a few short weeks, we will be officially welcoming the WINTER season.    But we still ha...

I don’t know why it might hit me funny sometimes when I reach to use a journal that I created… it’s interesting.   Reaching for the empty pages to pray and process is nothing new for me nor reading words to focus my mind and strengthen my spirit. Maybe it’s knowing that some of you are reaching for these same pages too.   I’ve noticed these feelings come up when I’m reaching for it not out of dail...

Happy new week! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving day, and weekend…   Here we are closing out the final week in November. I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to December and moving into the Winter season. Maybe it’s because we’ve had some chilly days and I've pulled out my sweaters that’s got me in the mood. Whatever it is I'm excited!   This week's focus in the seasonal journal i...

I see you if when you hear the word home and the family table it doesn’t bring back any warm fuzzy feelings for you…    Home wasn’t a place you felt safe or seen…   And for that I am sorry.    I’m sorry because I know that has shaped your life and your thoughts around family and belonging. And I hope you have or are moving towards healing in your life.   Autumn Journal - https://amzn.to/3LewEvj In...

How can living a life of prayer enable us to live a life of thankfulness?   1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.   We can read this scripture and acknowledge that is a beautiful thought especially when life is feeling pretty chill. We can...

Susan sits down with her eldest daughter, Erica Morris-Diaz to discuss the unexpected transition from full-time business owner to full-time "stay-at-home mom" incorporating her skills and talents into a new season.  All of this is in learning to be still to see what God might be doing in the change.   Autumn Journal - https://amzn.to/3LewEvj Instagram - https://bit.ly/SusanBethInstagram Pinterest...

Happy new week friend.  How are you?? We welcomed a new month this week and we are pretty much in the middle of this season. And our weather here matched up with the fall season this week even though it looks like it’s warming back up this week. But here in North Florida we just have to enjoy cooler temps when we can. HA!   The weekly focus for this week is Thankfulness.    You don’t have to look...

11 Things to be intentional about in November    Happy November! I’m so glad you are here. If you’re moving through the seasonal journal with the calendar weeks of Autumn. Then you know we Started week 6 and you might have like me, had the realization that we are almost halfway through the season of Autumn!!   So I thought it would be fun to kick off the Month of November by setting some intention...

Even though change is often needed and a necessary part of life it isn’t always an easy process.   There is a comfort we experience with the familiar. We fight to hang on to life choices and circumstances… even when the season has run its course because it’s what we know.   I think many of us can relate to a relationship ending that we knew needed to end and yet we found ourselves reaching back ou...

I can remember sitting at a coffee shop with someone and her talking to me about me singing and leading worship which I had done most of my life. And I said out loud something I had felt in my heart for a long time… I had a fear of really letting go of control and leading in worship in a greater way because I was afraid of where it might take me.   Autumn Journal - https://amzn.to/3LewEvj Instagra...

The season of Fall is layered with lovely texture and colorful leaves. And even though at times the change might appear to have happened suddenly the reality is that what is now becoming visible to our eyes has been happening for a while.   I remember several years ago when I entered a new season of spending more time creating art I had many people in my life ask me “Where did this come from”?!  A...

Hi you! Thanks for being here!   I asked a question in my Instagram stories this week after sharing a quote from the Autumn Journal which said   “Like autumn leaves changing around me  May I stop resisting change  Allowing a miraculous transformation Bringing forth brilliant beauty.”   and the question I asked was “Do you tend to surrender or resist change in your life?   And overwhelmingly the an...

Here we are at the start of a new week…   I’m starting to see glimpses from some of your posts on Instagram that the season of Autumn is revving up visually. And that’s what we’re talking about today.   Colors hold such power for our senses.   And I love how we are so uniquely drawn to different colors and shades.   There are particular colors that aren’t necessarily my favorite but when I see the...

So I decided to open the back door to allow the natural light in and I plopped down on the couch with my bible and journal and decided to open up to the weekly focus in the Autumn journal.  The words on the page felt very timely as I was reading about the season inviting us ‘home” and reminding us that change is exciting and beautiful and needed for future growth. All of a sudden I realized there...

So fast forward to this year, actually I was tempted to cut it last year too.  But this year it has really been something I wanted to do and I started people that after the summer I was going to cut it.  And I realized I had been putting it off for so long because I was scared. This was surprising to me because I’ve always been the person to cut my hair at the drop of a hat. I would have people sa...

One of the thoughts I wrote was “We can’t be loved until we are seen + known…   And I was thinking through why in our humanity that is something we often times resist as much as our soul yearns to be seen and know We cover ourselves and hide.   I think one reason we can do that is similar to some thoughts I shared in last week's episode… we are afraid that who we are will be judged and not measure...

We are officially welcoming the season of Autumn this weekend.    I love the correlation between the natural seasons and the seasons of life.    I’m pretty sure that most of us have a preference as to which natural season is our favorite. I’ve always thought about and talked a lot about seasons but creating this seasonal journal this past year it has me diving even a little deeper.   And some of t...

Genesis 3:6-10 These verses are always so sad to me…   Reading how they hid from God.   And sad because I can see how we can still do that today…   The enemy of our souls is always looking to kill steal and destroy us.   And that plays out in many different ways in each of our lives.   The accuser plays on our weaknesses and is relentless with distractions to keep us from living the life we were c...

The autumn season is all about allowing things to fall away in our life ..which can be scary and painful… but what I found as many of you have as well… the falling away opens up the space for new beautiful and needed future growth.     Autumn Journal - https://amzn.to/3LewEvj Instagram - https://bit.ly/SusanBethInstagram Pinterest - https://bit.ly/SusanBethPinterest The SHE IS Podcast - https://bi...
