Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie Ivy Podcast.

I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things in life,

the little things in life and the little things in life, and everything in between.

Hey friends, it's the last month of 2023 and I am very well aware that there are so many

emotions going in to the end of the year.

Some of you feel as though this has been one of your best

years yet. You have a look back and you see things that you've enjoyed. You

see great relationships. You see a lot of fun experiences. You see not a lot of

tragedy. And I definitely know that there are some lot of

tragedy and I definitely know that there are some of you who look back on

2023 are ready to get to the next 31 days and close the chapter of

2023. You've had hardships, you've had tragedy, you've had frustrations, and if I'm even

more honest, I would think that most of us have a mixture of those emotions. We look back on the

year and we see great things and we look back on the year and we see great things and we

look back on the year and we see things that we wish we wouldn't have had to

experience and things we wish we could never think about again. I just want to

tell you that there is good news in the midst of all of this.

I want to read you an excerpt from my book.

It's called Why Can't I Get It Together.

Kick unrealistic expectations to the curb and rest in God's truth.

It actually comes out in February as normal
