Happy Friday friends! I hope that you have had the most wonderful week! As I look back on this week, we are just incredibly grateful. I haven't shrae much on here, but our Thanksgiving Day turned out to be very different then we could have planned with our neighbors house catching on fire and we were all kept safe. I plan to share a bit more in the future, but for now, we just are incredibly humbled and grateful at the protection we experienced. Please pray for our neighbors who have lost their home and everything during this very difficult time.
Thank you again for making this such a lovely community and space that I come to each day! I am so grateful for the Caravan Sonnet community!
Here are some of my favorite things from this past week! First of all....
I receive so many emails each week from y'all looking to encourage and support friends with chronic illnesses and I hope that this post, 17 Ways to Help a Friend with a Chronic Illness During the Holidays will be helpful! I am so grateful for your heart for those walking that journey! You can find it HERE!

We are adding the final pieces to our Christmas Journals and Junk Journals collection and I wanted to say thank you again for all of your support - on Etsy and then through personal orders! Our first Christmas drop sold out so fast this year (off of Etsy) so if you are still looking for the perfect unique gift or for a bespoke heirloom memory piece for yourself, head to the shop and go HERE for the collection! I am sure you have seen this a lot all over social media, but a purchase from a shop like ours or any small business owner is truly life-changing. There is so much work, time, and care that goes into creating piecs that it is not just a sale for a shop owner it is truly a beautiful answer as you truly support families in every way.

Every week I share new thoughts and tips and I hope that they are an encouragement to you in your health journey! I have been sharing these tips on so many different subjects since 2013 that it is amazing to think that we are looking at starting year 13 of sharing!!
One of the most read and all time favorite post for people is the one entitled "The Benefits of Laughing".

If you are looking for holiday specific books that I have written you can find them here...
*****5 Star Rated*****
This is the first and only Lyme Specific Advent and Christmas Devotional for Lyme Warriors. Here is a brief description of the book from the press release:
"When Light Dawns" is the first and only Lyme Patient specific book for the Advent & Christmas season. This book features daily reflections that will inspire & give hope to Lyme Warriors. Containing a daily reflection & song for each day of the Christmas Season (from the last week of November through the first week of January) "When Light Dawns" can be used as a simple encouragement to the weary heart or as a guided devotional study. However it is used, "When Light Dawns" will provide encouragement & give new meaning to the popular phrase, "Holiday preparations" this season.
You can find it where books are sold and on Amazon HERE!
Book 2 in the Chronic Grace Series
This is the first and only Chronic Illness Specific book related to the idea of what to pray, what to do, and what to say (releasing in 2025) for Chronic Illness patients. Here is a brief description of the book from the press release:
This book is written for those with a heart and desire to practically meet someone struggling through the confusing and difficult road of a chronic health condition this holiday season. Often those who long to walk the journey of a chronic health condition with their loved ones ask from a sincere place, "How can I really help this holiday?" but feel at a loss of where to start. This book is filled with unique and one-of-a-kind ideas for this holiday season that will be a wonderful "jumping off point" for you to be reaching out to those whom you love that struggle with chronic health issues and their loved ones.
You can find it on Amazon HERE!
4. THANK YOU
Thank you so much for your incredible support of Caravan Sonnet Shoppe this past year! I have so many plans and things I am doing behind the scenes as I work on this shop and your support means so much to me! If you are a teacher, tutor, homeschool mama or dad, or looking for personal finance, history, and government resources for students you can find the shop HERE!
With Caravan Sonnet turning twelve years old this year I love sharing on Fridays some of the older but most popular posts on the blog! We are excited to participate in some different Christmas events that we enjoy and one of the ones that we enjoyed so much starting in 2018 was the CBC Holiday Sing-In. You can read more about it HERE! While they don't do this concert anymore (so sad!) there are so many other exciting events that I am excited to share with y'all soon!
I hope that you have a wonderful Friday friends! Thank you for making this such an incredible space to come to and connect with every single day. I am so blessed!!
