Welcome! I'm Sonya Joy Mack and you're subscribed to The LIVE JOY LETTERS: a collection of letters for women to live in the joy God intended - one choice at a time.

THE MESSAGE:

Hey Reader,

It's been a while. In fact, it's been too long.

I wanted to pop into your inbox to be completely transparent about where I’ve been.

To those of you who are new around here, I released my book, This Changes Everything: When Death No Longer Has the Final Say, in December 2022 with so much hope and excitement. Years of writing in the cracks of time between kid activities, Soph's doctor's appointments, and my busy job were finally being rewarded.

My mom was finally getting a voice.

But about two months after the launch, life threw a massive curveball. I got really sick.

In a matter of weeks, I went from launching a book to just trying to make it through the day. I was in constant pain and being shuffled to doctors who couldn't help. I was in a dark place.

The momentum stopped. The marketing stopped. The noise stopped.

But in that silence, something else started.

I realized that while I wrote a book about death not having the final say, I was currently living a life where overwhelm and exhaustion were trying to have the final say.

I’m writing to you today because I am back, but I’m different.

In the years since, I've been learning what it looks like to live in a new way.

My mission has shifted from just helping people survive loss to helping women move from overwhelmed to being whole in body, mind, and spirit - even in the face of continued pain.

My new motto? Don’t Just Live—Live Joy.

I’m going to be sharing more about what that looks like in the coming weeks (and sharing some resources to help you find that wholeness, too).

Hit reply and let me know. I read every email, and I’d love to reconnect.

With Joy,

Sonya Joy Mack Author & Founder, The Live Joy Life

THE PRAYER:

I pray for Reader, today, Lord, that whatever she may be facing, I encourage her to take a moment to breathe in Your presence and remember that she is not meant to be overwhelmed, but whole. Let this knowledge be the handle she uses to hold tight to Your anchor.

Reader, you are stronger than you know, because He who is in you is stronger than anything in this world.

If this email touched your heart in any way, I encourage you to invite a friend. They can join here:

As always, we are in this together.

Sonya
