Summary

Today on the show, I get to talk with my long-time friend Lanier Ivester. I’ve known her for 30 years and I don’t think I’ve talked publicly much about my grandmother’s book store, but Lanier worked there growing up, so this conversation was so sacred to me—to relive some of those memories, to get to talk about my grandmother AND THEN get to talk about the Advent & Christmastide season, which y’all know is sacred to me too. Lanier’s very first book, Glad and Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide, is out now and it's so good. She has walked through great grief in infertility, losing her parents, and a house fire. I think you’re really going to love getting to know her story and her heart. We also recorded a little bonus for Single Purpose League too. . . . . Find the show notes here! Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

0:02.0	Hi friends!
0:03.0	That sounds fun!
0:05.0	That sounds fun!
0:07.0	We're going to another episode of That Sounds Fun.
0:15.0	I'm your host, Annie F. Downs.
0:17.0	I am so happy to be here with you today.
0:20.0	Just a reminder, today is day two of
0:23.2	Advent. We're going to talk more about it today, but it's not too late to join us in our stay-tuned
0:28.8	Advent series. You can still grab the full digital bundle right now and jump in. If you want to
0:34.1	hear the first day, we put it right here on the That Sounds Fun feed. You can listen to it. It's sitting there for you yesterday. So you can go listen. And you can find everything you need over at Annie F Downs.com slash advent. And before we dive into today's conversation, I want to tell you about one of our incredible sponsors, AG1. You know by now that I am a big fan of AG1. We've been partnering
0:55.6	with them for a long time, but it is starting my day off right for a long time as well.
1:00.8	I truly love drinking it in the morning because it just makes me feel more clear-headed
1:04.8	and ready for the day. In fact, this week, I missed two days and I got back in the rhythm today,
1:09.7	and I feel different. It is a lot to
1:12.5	keep up with a ton of different vitamins and supplements to take, but I love the AG1 allows me to
1:17.5	knock it all out with one scoop mixed in really cold water. And I like to add a little frozen
1:21.7	lemon juice to it for something fun. So as the new year gets closer, try AG1 for yourself. It's the perfect time to start a new healthy habit.
1:30.4	And AG1 is offering new subscribers a free $76 gift when you sign up.
1:35.2	That's awesome.
1:36.1	You'll get a welcome kit, a bottle of D3K2, and five free travel packs in your first box.
