The Great Glimmer Hunt

“In the silence of a midwinter dusk, there is a sound so faint that for all you can tell it may be only the sound of the silence itself. You hold your breath to listen. You are aware of the beating of your heart. The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of that moment.”

I’m Janell, Professional Heartlifter,

and I’m your guide for this Advent’s

“Great Glimmer Hunt.”

Advent is the beautiful journey towards Christmas. Ryan Reeves of gospelcoalition.org writes, “In the early centuries of the church, Advent almost certainly arose as a result of the fixed dating of Christmas. Once December 25 became Christmas, it was the center of gravity for the later half of the year—a perfect balance to Easter in the first half. In this way, Advent took on significance the same way Lent did: both were preparation for the more significant season on the horizon.”

As women, this preemptive season before Christmas is often harried with so many obligations, duties, and roles to play.

With this in mind, step into a journey where curiosity, not chaos, becomes your compass. The Great Glimmer Hunt invites you to notice small sparks of wonder hidden in everyday life.

With each glimmer you uncover, you awaken courage, joy, and a renewed sense of possibility – one tiny adventure at a time.

Wake up every morning with an expectation of awe and wonder. Meet me on Instagram, @janellrardon and over at Heartlift Central on Substack. I’ll be waiting to wave my Glimmer Wand over you!

Mothering is the Most Important Influence of All

We live in a culture inundated with Influencers.

All social media platforms allow anyone to share their wares, and I’m good with that.
Their presence can be helpful.

But it can also be overwhelming and attention-sucking. I get sucked into the Influencer Vortex daily.

I pray that this space, right here, and over on Heartlift Central on Substack, is a place where you can invest your time and energy in the most important sphere of influence ever: mothering.
