How are your goals and resolutions holding up, friends? If you’re still going strong, I’m proud of you! If you fell off the wagon immediately, I’m proud of you too—you tried, and each new day is an opportunity to try again.
Here’s your monthly recap:
Best Book I Read This Month
It sounds audacious to say I have read my favorite book of the year in February, but I’m confident that the statement is accurate. Practicing the Way is the newest book from John Mark Comer, and it is equal parts convicting, encouraging, and thought-provoking. If you want to deepen your walk with Jesus and become a person of love and peace, this is for you. Find it here.
Best Article I Read This Month
The end of January brought the very first photographic evidence of a live baby great white shark in the wild! Scientists believe the shark was likely mere hours old. You can read the story and see the photo here.
Tip + Trick of the Month
I stumbled across this neat little graphic from Shelby Sacco illustrating the habit formation loop. Helpful to those of us trying to build better habits!
Quote of the Month
“Practicing justice is an act of joining God in seeing that the created order (people and everything else) receives what it is due.” -Dr. Gerry Breshears
Thought for the Month
As an environmental writer who loves the ocean, I have been kicking around the idea of having one brand that hosts a marine conservation newsletter and any other ocean-focused personal projects I may launch. And, after thinking about it for a few months, it’s happening!
The Saltwater Chronicles is now open for subscribers and the first edition of ‘Making Waves Weekly’ will be hitting inboxes on 3/1/24. You can become an early subscriber here to get ocean news straight to your inbox.
I hope you join me over at The Saltwater Chronicles too, but even if we just stay friends here, I’ll catch you next month.
I'm excited for the Chronicles! The ocean is always weighing on my heart just a little bit
