    LadieZee is a guide to help you get open and ready to receive! She takes you through a practice she calls “Be Still Time”. (Psalm 46:10) It’s a process of resting in His light, and releasing your spinning mind by letting go of what no longer serves you, in order to make room for God's word, clarity, and peace. She gives practical ideas on how to spend more regular quality time with Him using different forms of intentional self care, and how it doesn't have to be a production or expensive to be effective.
