As a new year begins, there's often pressure to decide: set goals, choose a word, figure out what's next. In this episode, we do something slower. Instead of rushing toward clarity or change, we pause to notice what quietly followed us into this year. Not to analyze it. Not to fix it. Simply to become aware—with kindness, honesty, and God's presence. This episode is an invitation to reflect gently on the past year and to listen for what may still be asking for care as you move forward. >> Is This Still Affecting Me?: A Gentle Reflection Guide RELATED EPISODES: · Episode 131: Healing in Layers: What Art Taught Me About Grief · Episode 65: Learn to Linger with What Provokes You · Episode 149: What Are You Feeling Possessive Of? ______ >> Free Journaling Workshop: 3 ways to encounter God on the pages of your journal http://lovedoesthat.org/journalingworkshop >> Journal Gently Program: 8 week writing program to start healing from grief and trauma http://lovedoesthat.org/journalgently >> Book Kari as a speaker for your next event: http://lovedoesthat.org/speaking
