Bonus Update: From Launch to Bestseller

A Celebration of 5 Days at #1, Your Wonderful Reviews, and What’s Next

Hello, dear friends,

This is a little bonus post—a celebration and a heartfelt thank-you.

It’s been just 11 days since Return to Simple launched, and I’m still taking it all in. Because of your support, encouragement, and sharing, the book hit #1 Bestseller on Amazon for five days in a row! I never imagined such a strong start, and I know it happened because this message matters—and because of you.

As of today, there are 44 beautiful reviews and 47 star ratings. If you’ve left a review already—thank you. I’ve read every single one and your words have truly blessed me. If you haven’t yet, no rush—take your time with the book. When it settles in and if it speaks to your heart, I’d be honored if you’d share a few words and pass the message along to others who may need it.

I also had the blessing of being interviewed by three incredible voices who helped shine a light on the heart of this book:

• Kerry Mann from Homesteadhow created a wonderful short and shared a beautiful conversation with me about simplicity, faith, and how my book will change many lives.

So, What’s Next?

The next step is, of course, simple: continue bringing Return to Simple into more hearts and homes—with your help and support.

This is not just a book launch—it’s an organic, Holy Spirit-led movement. I’ve placed it fully in the Lord’s hands, trusting Him to stir hearts and inspire others to carry this message of hope and truth into the darkness—and I’ll be right there beside them.

Because Return to Simple is not a one-day, one-week, one-month, or even one-year movement.
This book will awaken minds, soften hearts, and lead people into healing, wholeness, and their God-given purpose—for the ages to come.

I’ve learned again and again—when we respond to the quiet stirrings within, amazing things happen.

So I’ll keep saying yes, Lord.
And I invite you to do the same.

I’d love to just pause with you—sitting with this for a moment.
I’m so amazed right now.
I believe God delights when we pause in awe and wonder…
So, I’m going to stay camped out here for a while—
and I warmly invite you to join me. ✨

Thank you—
For saying yes.
For reading.
For sharing.
For believing we can step away from the chaos we’ve been handed—and into a life of clarity, peace, and purpose.

Keep leaning in. Keep inviting others. Keep giving all glory and honor to God.
Together, we are restoring what’s been lost—one heart, one home, one choice at a time.

Stay True-Hearted, My friends,
