GraceLaced – the book release!

That girl right there is a friend I treasure. Blogging brought Ruth’s friendship into my life nearly a decade ago. For all the ways we are opposites, we are also so very similar. The photo above was from a trip we took to Ecuador together with Compassion International last year. We showed up one morning both sporting rolled jeans and gray shirts…and our very distinct differences too. Ruth had accessories – a stylish watch and a cute clutch. I was carrying my camera in a lunch sack because it was practical and cheap. She had fashionable feminine flats. I was sporting my boys size 3 Converse. I’ll always laugh when I see that picture…and wish I was as stylish as Ruth!

Over the course of the last two years I’ve cheered from across state lines as Ruth worked on her first book. Last February, she saw the first proofs of her book from the comfort of my unfinished couch. I was giddy excited for her. I think I’ve said a million times to her “You are an author! Like you have a book – a published book!”

This summer I watched as pre-release copies landed in the hands of other bloggers, insta-grammers and her book launch team. With each post I’d see on social media, I’d text her to ask where my copy was. I gave her a bit of a hard time that everyone got to see it before me. 😉

My copy finally arrived and it is just as beautiful as I imagined. It is a true reflection of Ruth and I can’t wait for it to land in the hands of women across the globe. Ruth takes readers through the seasons of the heart and matches them with the timeless truths of the Bible. There is space for journaling, reflection and being inspired by her art. It is a work of her heart and a gift to her readers.

Tomorrow is the official release of the GraceLaced book! Today you can still order it for 50% off on Amazon and get a host of pre-launch goodies.

The combination of art, encouragement and challenging truths in her book reflect the woman that always pushes me and inspires me as a wife, mom and business owner. We may be opposites in so many ways, but I know she will always be cheering for me and I’ll always be cheering for her. #TeamRuth

Congratulations on the release of your book Ruth – I’m so very happy for you and incredibly grateful for your friendship and influence in my life.
