Sign up for the Free Foundations Soul Care e-course. [https://sherryelaine.com/cohorts] There is a new 3 week online learning cohort starting each Monday through the rest of this summer and it is completely free! Sign up at https://sherryelaine.com/cohorts --------------------------------------------------------- Since this is the week of the Little House on the Prairie reboot, I think many of us first caught a glimpse of that feeling while watching Little House on the Prairie or reading the books as children. There was something about those stories that felt calming. Whether it was the crackling fire, the lantern light, the simple meals, evenings with fiddle music, or simply the slower pace of life, even the difficult moments seemed to be wrapped in a certain steadiness and steadfastness. I think many of us today know we're missing something. We're grieving something we can't quite name. Not because we actually want to churn our own butter or live primitively in a cabin on the prairie, but because our souls are exhausted from the speed, the demands, and the constant messages of modern life. We are overstimulated and overcommitted. We're always scrolling. We're always reachable. We're always processing information, and our nervous systems never fully rest. I believe our souls were created for a rhythm that is more like the prairie than the pace we are currently living.

What if Caroline Ingalls had a Life Coach? | How to Find and Define Purpose and Joy in Life | Little House on the Prairie |Christian Life Coaching

If you grew up reading the Little House books or watching the television show like I did, you probably found yourself wishing, at least once or twice, that you could step into that simpler world. Lately I've been watching the new Netflix adaptation, and it has inspired me to make a couple of Little House inspired blogs and podcasts – and for this one - there was one scene that really stayed with me. But first - I want to let you know that a new cohort is starting in my Faith and Soul Care Foundations e-course on Monday, and it is free. To sign up, simply go to sherryelaine.com [https://sherryelaine.com/cohorts] and click on the link that says Free Foundations [https://sherryelaine.com/cohorts]. There is also a direct link in the show notes and on the blog if you're reading this there. If you're struggling with stress, worry, fatigue, disappointment, or burnout, or if you'd simply like support in reconnecting with God and even with yourself, this free e-course is for you. We have a new cohort beginning each Monday throughout the rest of the summer. Now, back to life coaching Caroline Ingalls as she was portrayed in the new version of little house on the prairie on Netfix. If you haven’t seen it yet – there are no real spoilers here - Caroline has a flashback to before she and Charles headed west. Her sister reminds her that she could have married a wealthy man from town. Someone who could have offered security, comfort, and an easier life. But then a thought crossed my mind. What if Caroline had given me a call or reached out to me before leaving for Kansas?
