December Coffee Chat: The Intangible Gifts That Matter Most

In a season where our carts fill with things we can wrap and place under the tree, it’s easy to overlook the gifts our hearts actually need: connection, support, and shared life with others. If you’ve been craving a sense of belonging or wishing for more encouragement in your work and daily rhythms, here are three kinds of community that can offer exactly that.

1. Church Community Groups
When life feels scattered, a consistent circle of women grounded in faith can bring stability, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. Community groups are a place to be known, prayed for, and supported.
Action step: Look up your church’s small groups or women’s gatherings and commit to attending one meeting in the coming month.

2. Coffee Dates With Intention
Sometimes the simplest face-to-face conversations are the most restorative. A slow cup of coffee with a friend can replace isolation with laughter, perspective, and real connection.
Action step: Text one person today and set a date. No perfect schedule needed, just an hour to talk and breathe together.

3. Collaborative Work & Shared Purpose
Your work was never meant to be done in isolation. Having someone to brainstorm with, support you, and walk alongside you can bring clarity, momentum, and confidence.
Action step: Consider what kind of support you need in this season—creativity, accountability, structure—and explore options for working alongside someone who can help you carry the load.
