Mom Heart Leaders Intensive
"Lady Wisdom prepares her home, prepares beauty and good food and then invites others in.
Wisdom encompasses a whole life of living and building on the purposes, design and messages of God. Wisdom extends itself through relationships, our influence, the practical ways we live life, the values we hold, the art we create, the influence we have, the legacy we leave."
-Sally Clarkson
Mom Heart Writers and Leadership on Sally's Staircase
Do you remember a time when someone prepared a place for you? When there was a sense of beauty and place and care that cried out to your heart that there was celebration in your coming? When your heart was opened over a simple cup of tea or by the light of a flickering candle, when you felt love, deep at your core and knew you were valued and accepted by another person?
"To say that you are loved is one thing, but to feel loved is quite another entirely." -Sally Clarkson
Some of the beauty prepared for our time together
This weekend, the leadership of Mom Heart were welcomed in, gathered together, to grow and learn and to be loved on in the homes of our leadership in Colorado. It was a time of deep refreshing and teaching, but most of all, experiencing the love and beauty and fullness of life and home that God extends to each of our hearts and that we long to extend to you in our online home. We hope you enjoy some pictures of our time together, of the real life of these women who are so honored to share words and community with you here. Some wisdom from our teaching time is peppered throughout as well. I hope it soaks deep into your heart today, friends. You are so, so loved.
