“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
Hello, October! The leaves on our sugar maples are turning brilliant crimson and it’s a big month around here as we launch the 2021 PowerSheets Collection in 8 days.
It has been quite a year at Cultivate and I have to tell you how proud I am of our team. More than ever before, we’ve seen challenges as opportunities. We’ve gotten creative in the face of these opportunities—supply chain barriers, the economy, kids at home, moving to a new warehouse right as the pandemic began, and safety logistics (how in the world do we shoot product with people??). My team has worked heartily through homeschooling and trying new things to thrive in 2020! We zeroed in on rest. We took an extra week of vacation in August as a needed mental health break. We’ve prayed together and worked in faith and made things work. Many times, we made them better.

I’m proud of our team and excited for the world to experience all that’s currently stacked and ready to ship from our new warehouse. The 2021 Collection launches next Wednesday, October 14, at 10 am ET. 🎉🎉🎉
After a year like this, I want to pause here and thank our partners and truly amazing customers—who are family to us. Thank you for cultivating what matters in your own lives this year, and turning your challenges into opportunities, too. You deserve a trophy for making it through this year.🏆 A wall of trophies!
And, no matter what happens in the year ahead, I have confidence you’ll be focused on one thing. A lot of things changed in our lives since last October, but one thing remained the same: what matters. In fact, it’s clearer than ever.

We’ll be celebrating YOU on Launch Day—and your fresh start ahead! Get ready to clear your mind, set your best goals, and move forward into 2021 with confidence. Shop next Wednesday at 10 am ET to be sure you get your favorites!
Here’s a quick look back at my September PowerSheets goals. My October goals are below, too!
September Monthly Goals:
— Start the homeschool year with ease and joy / This has been a delight and my favorite time of the week. I have a mega homeschool post coming for you soon!
— Write the big list for Q3/4
— Work + Worship / I was especially grateful to get to speak at the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Conference a couple of weeks ago alongside two women I greatly admire, one of whom was April Anthony. She taught us about the gift of integrating all of our lives together—work and family with a shared heart: His. It was encouraging to learn from someone who has lived this out and created such an impact in her family and beyond.
September Weekly Goals:
— Wonder in God’s creation
— Listen to the birds / We’ve become a little obsessed with bird watching lately, as lots of falcons have been migrating! We may have run across the neighborhood in our PJ’s one morning with binoculars to get a closer look at one.
— Shabbat
— Memorize my goals
September Daily Goals:
— Bible reading
— Physical Bible time (instead of digital)
— Write the Word
— Move it!
— Digital fast

This year was so hard for me in so many ways. I never touched my PowerSheets and I’ve felt the difference. I can’t wait to start the new year with my new PowerSheets and I’ve invited my 16 yo and 8 yo daughters to join me on this journey with their very own PS. We can’t wait to grow together this year and remain grounded in God and family and moving forward toward our goals together. Thank you ladies for all you do! May God bless each and every one of you and your precious families!
