Cali-Cation

Sorry I’ve been a little “missing in action” around here. I just got back from what we have affectionately named “Cali-cation” where I spent 4 days immersed in fellowship with some wonderful friends. It was a trip I will never forget. On Monday as I began the long process of saying goodbye, I kept waiting […]

California: Haircut & Awkward Love

Saturday morning I flew out to sunny Southern California. I had been looking for a great excuse to escape the oppressive Tennessee heat and this really cool opportunity (more about that later) popped up at the last minutes to spend a couple of days with friends in Cali-forn-ia.  How could I say no to that? […]

Happy Belated Fourth of July

I’ve been in Dallas for the last several days working at our Women of Faith office and celebrating the Fourth of July with my family. It has been a whirlwind. A WHIRLWIND. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of my nieces. Aren’t they adorable? How did you spend your long weekend? PrintemailFacebookLinkedinPinterestTumblrTwitter

My Faith Was Demanding It

Six months ago, I wrote a post stating that I wanted to get my hands dirty. (Interesting to note that I also wrote posts about other big hairy audacious goals like getting married and having kids. And unfortunately I’ve got nothing to report in either area. NOTHING.) In the post I said, It is easy […]

On Story

Have you ever met someone who was a brilliant storyteller? Someone who at the mere mention of “once upon a time” transported you into an epic adventure? Someone who introduced characters so real that you couldn’t help but imagine yourself walking in their shoes? I have. And when I am in the presence of a […]

Ahhhh, Relaxation

These days most of my vacations are described one of two ways… as an “exciting adventure” or as some “quality time with friends and family.” You know the kind? The kind where you set out each morning prepared to conquer the day? The kind where you see how many people, places, and things you can […]

Mission Accomplished

Yesterday I completed the Country Music Half Marathon. To be perfectly honest, I have been ACTIVELY DREADING the race for a couple of weeks. Mostly because I over-committed myself and I was straight-up freaked out about how I was going to feel as I tried to conquer the mountainous (okay, that might be a slight exaggeration) […]

Follow Friday – Catalyst West

Decided that today instead of normal “Follow Friday” tweets that I’d hook you up with some of the incredible people I encountered this week so you can get connected with them. Each of these folks played a part in making my time at Catalyst West (#catwest) incredible. Incredible. @sarahmarkley and @cmarkley –  At the suggestion […]

A Crazy Couple of Weeks

I’m about to embark on a crazy couple of weeks. Crazy fun. But also just a little crazy nutty. Tomorrow morning I head out to not-so-sunny Southern California for Catalyst West. I went to my first Catalyst conference this fall in Atlanta. To say I loved it doesn’t quite do the conference justice. I ate it […]

You Ask. I Answer: Nashville Restaurants

When I asked for questions you’d like to see my answer on my blog, several people wanted to know what my favorite restaurants Nashville restaurants are. If you know anything about me, you probably know that I love eating out. Seriously love eating out. I guess it is something about the experience of sitting down […]
