A small circle of women
helping to keep
a body of work alive.
For years, the writing, prayers, and practices at PraiseWalker have been offered freely. The Sacred Hearth exists to help sustain that — and to keep it going.
This is not a program to complete.
It is a shared commitment to keeping the fire burning.

For years, I have shared a vast majority of my work freely through PraiseWalker — weekly articles, audio reflections, Advent and Lent journeys, prayers, and practices. Hundreds of women have found their way into a slower, deeper walk with God through these resources.
While I believe wholeheartedly that "those who work deserve their pay" (Luke 10:7), I also believe the Gospel—and the healing and wholeness it brings—cannot be locked behind a paygate.
I do have some paid projects—my Hand Psalter guides, custom rosaries, and the occasional e-book. But the constant marketing required to sell enough of these projects to cover the expenses of my work feels incongruous with the quiet, contemplative nature of the ministry itself.
This work requires real financial investment in tools and infrastructure, but also a significant investment of time. I volunteer a large portion of my hours locally in my church, and internationally through Imago Christi and The Order of the Mustard Seed. This includes leading nine-month novitiate cohorts, hosting open spaces for people to simply show up and go deeper, and facilitating workshops. This work is entirely unpaid and, in the case of Imago Christi, requires me to raise support to cover ongoing travel expenses.
All of this deepens my own formation and skills, which then pours directly back into PraiseWalker. My deepest desire is to offer my earned and paid-for knowledge as freely as possible, but the financial costs of doing so continue to rise.
Rather than relying on constant product launches or ongoing marketing cycles, I have chosen a simpler path. A patron circle. A small community of women who believe this work matters and want to help it continue.
- The creation of free PraiseWalker writing, audio reflections, and seasonal journeys
- Training toward spiritual direction
- Fully support-raised formation work and required travel through Imago Christi
- Unpaid leadership of nine-month novitiate cohorts for the Order of the Mustard Seed
- The ability to keep offering deep, meaningful resources and support to those who cannot afford to pay
Tokens of Companionship
I am not selling products to make this work possible. These are simply expressions of my deep gratitude—quiet, tangible companions created exclusively for you, to nourish your own spiritual journey as you support mine.
A Personal Letter
Each month, a short letter arrives in your mailbox — written by a real person who has been paying attention to both God and the world.
A Contemplative Breath Prayer
On the other side, a simple breath prayer. Two sentences. Just quietly there for you.
A Tiny Practice
A simple practice that can be carried throughout the month whenever it's needed. Not an assignment. A companion to reach for in a waiting room, a hard conversation, or three in the morning when you can't sleep.
An Audio Meditation
A QR code opens an audio meditation — usually around five minutes, maximum ten — that goes a little deeper and wider if the need is there. A guided silence, a slow Scripture reading, a gentle pause at the end of the month.
Hearth Gatherings
Members gather online for a relaxed 90-minute Fireside Gathering — not a class, not a webinar, not a coaching session.
A space for prayer, reflection, and honest conversation. Sometimes we explore a practice. Sometimes we sit with a question. Sometimes we simply share what God has been teaching us.
Think of it as pulling a chair to the hearth and spending time with kindred souls who are seeking God together.
Nothing to complete on a deadline. No portal to log into. No way to fall behind.
Over time something shifts. You find yourself calmer. Quieter inside. Reaching for the breath prayer without thinking. Noticing the sacred in ordinary moments you used to walk straight past.
You won't be able to point to when it happened.
That's how it's supposed to work.
Come to the fire.
Stay as long as you like.
$27 a month. Your membership helps keep freely offered work freely offered — and a wider circle of formation work alive.
