When I Sit in the Sun is a reflective and faith grounded meditation on stillness, healing, and choosing peace in a world that rarely slows down. Written for young women who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of carrying everything at once, this book invites readers to rediscover the quiet power of presence through one simple practice. Sitting in the sun.

Through personal moments spent outdoors with her dog Keiko, honest reflections on faith and the body, and gentle explorations of science, nervous system regulation, and spiritual rest, a 24 year old Jayden Sweeten shares how sunlight became a doorway to peace she had never known before. What begins as time spent sitting outside unfolds into a deeper understanding of God's design, intentional living, and the healing that happens when we allow ourselves to slow down.

This book is not a guide to fixing your life or becoming someone new. It is an invitation to remember what your body already knows. That peace does not have to be earned. That healing does not have to be complicated. That stillness is not laziness but wisdom. Readers are encouraged to find their own gentle rituals, whether in the sun, in quiet mornings, in movement, or in prayer, and to choose peace on purpose.

When I Sit in the Sun is a soft place to land. A reminder that God meets us in simplicity. A reassurance that the most important thing a young woman can protect is her peace.
