One Word
by
The last few years my friend Alece has picked one word as her theme for the entire year. And then she tries to make sure that she is all about that word all year long. I love her heart and the intentionality behind it. But I tried picking the word “action” last year. And although […]
A Couple of Good Excuses & Some Pics
by
Sorry it has been so very quiet around here. All I have for you is a couple of good excuses and some pictures. First this month has been…crazy. Like over the top crazy. Between Christmas, snow storms, out of town house guests, holiday parties, family get-togethers, a few run-ins with Santa, buying a new car, […]
My Own Little Personal Progress Report
by
Sometimes it is easy to overlook the progress made over a span a time. Sometimes it is easy to focus on how far I have left to go and not celebrate how far I’ve come. Sometimes it is easy to convince myself I am stuck in a rut, when in fact I am speeding down […]
I Wish
by
I am still struggling to find my words. It is quite an interesting predicament I find myself in, because I so wish I could I tell you how dinner with friends and an evening of worship at the Ryman restored my joy. I wish I could tell you how the advent musical reverberating through the […]

What I Learned On The Road
by
I have been traveling the last five weekends. I don’t how it happened exactly. I would have never planned it that way but… There was a wedding of a close friend and co-worker in Dallas. There was a Women of Faith conference that my sister and Bianca could attend. There was a baby shower in […]
A Little Tired And A Lot Blessed
by
This weekend I was back in Birmingham for a reunion of Compassion Bloggers at Deeper Still. It was incredible. The conference, the speakers, the worship, the laughter, the food, the time with friends, old and new…incredible. I heard solid Biblical teaching from three powerhouse women. Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore, and Kay Arthur brought “it”. A […]
Five Conferences Not To Miss
by
There are SO MANY conferences these days…blogging conferences, “get your creative juices flowing” conferences, leadership conferences, womens conferences, church conferences, “talk about changing the world” conferences. Seems like every time I turn around there is a new one launching that peaks my interest. And then there are the “old faithfuls” that I feel compelled to […]
