Almost everything will work again if you unplug it...

I’m preparing for an amazing sabbatical season, July 1st - August 31st! I’m taking a break to intentionally focus on rest, reflection, prayer, discerning, healing, writing and travel. Please enjoy the July series of the Harmonize Your Life Podcast with some amazing women who are sharing with us. August is our podcast season break, so plan to catch up on missed episodes during that time. I have a few speaking engagements that were already on my calendar, but they are not anything that I must plan or lead so I’m grateful. I will be taking time to help our daughter, Ariel as she relocates to Columbus, Ohio to begin her graduate school program at The Ohio State University. Pray for my heart as I release her. 

I appreciate my husband, Dr. Johnathan Alvarado, for insisting, loving, and supporting me while I take this much needed break. I appreciate my sons and daughters Johnathan, Jasmine, Joshua and Ariel for their love and support at home and the church. I appreciate my staff and leadership teams at Grace Church International and My Sister's Keeper Foundation for Women who ensure ministry and our work continues while I step away. 

Thanks to the women of the Harmonize Your Life Women’s Self-Care Network who pour into me more than I can ever give. Thank you all for your prayers as I grieve the loss of my mother. I miss her physical presence every day, but I feel her spirit with me constantly. I can’t wait to see who I will become during and after this sabbatical.

On the self-care journey with you,
Dr. Toni
