This one is going to be fun! 🏆

Maybe you’ve noticed we aren’t doing our annual Co****le Tournament this year. In the spirit of simplicity, we’re leaning into the gift of the Cottage and the smaller gatherings God is leading us toward this season.

We still hold onto the beautiful reason Collars & Community exists: bringing community and collared clergy together through joyful laughter and friendly competition. ✨

So this year, we’re excited to introduce a new twist: Collars + Community: Cottage Trivia Night.

While the teams are already full, we’re inviting you to join shared giving and community fundraising that help keep The Light Project going. 💡

Help your favorite parish, priest, or team climb the leaderboard as we work together toward our fundraising goal. Every $50 raised earns the team a “Light Bulb Moment” — a special trivia privilege that could give them the edge on competition night.

Support the mission, spark some fun, and yes… bragging rights are definitely included. 🏆

“Isley’s Adventures” Coming Soon! ✨

Today marks ten years since Isley’s passing. Our hearts carry both the ache of missing her and the comfort of knowing her love is still with us, as she continues hugging us from heaven. ♥️🪽

On this meaningful day, we’re so excited to share something close to our hearts: the upcoming release of “Isley’s Adventures,” the very first book in the La Petite Fille children’s series. A story inspired by love, imagination, and the beautiful spirit that Isley brought into the world.

This book is more than just a story. It’s a celebration of wonder, contagious joy, and the adventurous life of Isley Brooks Thibodeaux. Our hope is that it fills hearts with wonder and encourages every reader to embrace life with the same bright, adventurous spirit Isley shared so freely. 🌈

Thank you for being part of this journey with us over the past ten years. Your love and support mean more than we can say. Here’s to honoring Isley, cherishing her light, and stepping into the stories still to come.

If you’d like to be the first to know when “Isley’s Adventures” becomes available, be sure to fill out the form: www.huggingmefromheaven.com/isleys-adventures-form

We can’t wait to share it with you! 🙏🏻✨
