A $99 Investment in Yourself

My first Catalyst experience was at Catalyst One Day in the spring of 2009. I obviously enjoyed it, as I have now been to 3 of their other events. Below is a post I wrote about that experience, “Making An Investment in Myself.” Last Thursday, I attended Catalyst One Day with some folks from Cross […]

Helping Others Help You

Sometimes it is not easy (read: it is almost impossible) to admit that we could use a little help. We are so used to surviving, to doing it ourselves, to acting as if we have it all under control. But every now and then we, or at least me, need a helping hand. Last week […]

Tears

Yesterday I was talking to some friends about my season of singleness and one said, Lindsey, do you know that you are wonderful? That was all it took. Tears. Sometimes it is the strangest things that start them streaming. I am curious. What is the last thing that made you cry? Was it a movie? […]

Halloween

I know Halloween is a little controversial. But I have got to say, I like it. I don’t so much care for the dressing up part. But I am a huge fan of the gathering with friends and family, strolling around the suburbs, meeting neighbors, and eating candy…a lot of candy. I think we need […]

Connect

Did you attend Catalyst last month? And come home feeling all warm, fuzzy and inspired? But quickly stash away your swag bag and your notes? Only to get immersed back into life as usual? Or did something (finances, obligations, lack of vacation time) keep you at home? So you watched the seeminglingly-never-ending twitter feed and […]

On Fall

Growing up fall was always my favorite season. Back to school, high school football games, homecoming dances, hot chocolate, apple cider, warm chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin patches, Halloween, Thanksgiving, corduroy pants, blue jeans, bulky sweaters, pea coats, burnt orange foliage, the Texas Longhorns…what was there not to like? But these days fall is more of […]

Living Biblically

I’ll admit it. This is sort of a cop-out on a blog post. After all I have already tweeted this Catalyst video from Catalyst TWICE. But I can not stop thinking about this message from Francis Chan. Catalyst East 2010: Francis Chan from Catalyst on Vimeo. And I am processing Francis’ questions. What is “weird”? […]

The Best Thing I’ve Read This Week

By far this is the best, the most-thought provoking thing that I’ve read all week. Since I first read Blue Like Jazz, I have appreciated Donald Miller’s voice, his humor, and his insight. I’ve credited his most recent book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years with changing the way I think. A few years ago, […]

One Thing

If you were truly FEARLESS, what is ONE THING you would commit to DOING right now? Skydive? Break a habit? Tell someone how you really feel? Step into the spotlight? Run a marathon? Change careers? Give a long overdue apology? Say goodbye to a friend that is stunting your growth? Adopt a child? Looking at […]
