    About this ebook

    Women are tired of getting to the end of the day and realizing they haven't done one thing for themselves. In The Fringe Hours, Jessica Turner revealed the pockets of time women already have in their day and encouraged them to use those fringe hours to practice self care and do the things they love. Now she's ready to take readers a step forward, leading them through their own inspiring journey to a changed life.

    Equally practical and beautiful, My Fringe Hours offers busy women both inspiration and a space to make its concepts their own. Each section includes thought-provoking questions, space for reflective journaling and planning, and targeted motivation to help them use their fringe hours to live more creative and fulfilled lives.

    The perfect gift for the busy woman, this unique, interactive book gives clear guidance on how to begin a practice that will change her life.

      Praise for The Fringe Hours

      Turner’s transparency about her life, as well as the survey comments from other women in the book, are refreshingly candid and compassionate. Her book extends grace, hope, and inspiration to the reader.

      —Bookpage

      Commitments, responsibilities, and social expectations make free time seem like selfish use of a precious resource. Even Christian culture can seem to push for busier and busier lives to feel fruitful. Jessica N. Turner gives a welcome perspective: there are enough hours for everything to get done and some to spare for the betterment of oneself without guilt.

      —Life:Beautiful

      "Do you feel overwhelmed with life and everything you’re juggling? Do you wish you had time to recharge your batteries, but your to-do list is so long that the idea seems like an impossibility? . . . In The Fringe Hours, Jessica unveils her secrets to success and gives you the tools, tips, and techniques you can use to find time in your full schedule to refresh yourself and refill your tank too. This book is a must-read for busy women everywhere!"

      —Crystal Paine, founder of MoneySavingMom.com and New York Times bestselling author of Say Goodbye to Survival Mode

      "I want to give The Fringe Hours to every woman in my life, because this is the conversation we’re having over and over, at soccer practice and church and crammed between meetings. Jessica’s practical style made me feel like another way is possible. I love this book!"

      —Shauna Niequist, author of Bread & Wine

      "Jessica Turner has done an enormous favor to women who are exhausted from struggling to fit it all in, feeling pressure to be perfect and guilty if they don’t put themselves last. The Fringe Hours is like one gigantic permission slip to carve out some space in your day for the things that give you joy and feed your soul. . . . Making the most of the margins of time is the first step toward, as Turner writes, crafting a good life."

      —Brigid Schulte, author of the New York Times bestselling Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time

      Jessica is a fantastic teacher—through her own life, she models for those of us in the thick of life that we’re never too busy to be a good friend, to work hard, and to invest our whole heart into our God-given passions. I’m so thankful that she selflessly shares her wisdom for the rest of us—my life is richer and braver because of her.

      —Tsh Oxenreider, author of Notes from a Blue Bike: The Art of Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World

      "We live in a culture where far too often, women’s creative passions get squashed and squeezed right out of their lives. Jessica Turner’s The Fringe Hours is an honest and encouraging account of how women can make time for what fills them up most. I hope it inspires many women to once again embrace their passions."

      —Tara Sophia Mohr, author of Playing Big

      "Whether you are yearning to pursue the passions of your heart, take better care of yourself, or invest
