These quiet moments

Merry Third Day of Christmas! Whether you are still celebrating the season or moving on to the new horizon of 2025, these quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s Day offer a chance to pause after the rush of December.

At The Well, we’re slowing our pace, celebrating with loved ones and taking a few moments to breathe deeply. It feels good. Would you like to join us?

If you’re looking for inspiration, we recommend Anna Moseley Gissing’s reflections on Epiphany. Our podcast interview with Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes reminds us to treat ourselves gently as we plan for the year ahead. And Kim King’s interview on living a generous life provides thoughtful perspective at this time of end-of-year charitable giving.

Speaking of which … as you think through your charitable giving this week, would you consider a donation to the work of Women Scholars and Professionals? Our work is solely funded through the support of our readers and listeners. Learn more about how to give at our Giving Portal. Thank you!

In these in-between days, you may enjoy Kate Bowler’s ideas on celebrating the twelve days of Christmas, a few wise words on the glory of aging, a note that female shepherds were (and are) a thing, a story about what happens to those letters written to Santa, and a year-end reflection guide. We at The Well are so grateful for your presence in our community here — and we look forward to serving you in 2025!
