Hi, friend! I’m Whitney Putnam.
More about me…
I didn’t expect to start a lifestyle of celebrating big, happy lives in Jesus.
It found me. And surprisingly, it found me in my biggest disappointments: a very sick mom, unmet expectations in various career choices, financial struggles and the hustle of a young family.
A celebrator at heart and one to fill cards with confetti just because, I was quickly becoming cynical and negative. Life can easily bury you. But I am committed to not living buried. I’m committed to living the life Jesus intended for His people to live - one shining on a hill for others to see.
That’s why I am handing out permission slips to any woman who wants to live free, too. And because I write how I live, I want to create a space for us to talk about living abundantly. This certainly isn’t a one-size-fits all. Nor is this a how-to. Think of this space more like a big table, inviting a conversation to accept the invitation Jesus gives His daughters - I am come that you might live abundantly. I saved you a seat.
