The Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes in Northern Michigan are one of my sacred spaces - a spot where I feel close to God. Standing high on the dunes, I can hear the soft sound of Lake Michigan’s waves in the distance, and it brings a calm and quiet that settles my anxious mind. I feel surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation. In this peaceful space, with the steady rhythm of the waves, I feel a sense of peace and connection that renews my spirit and helps me feel grounded.
