One of the buzz words circling the leadership industry these days is the term, Servant Leadership. Why are so many people drawn to this idea that a Servant Leader is the apex of leadership examples? It’s because being a great leader is about being willing to get your hands dirty. It’s about giving of yourself… Continue reading Moms Make GREAT Leaders
Take the Step
It’s so funny how different children can be. My youngest learned to walk around the time she was 13mo, but there isn’t one singular day I can point to as the day she learned to walk. It started as a series of one or two steps before falling then, slowly over the span of a… Continue reading Take the Step
To Do List or STILL Undone List?
Maybe it’s just me, but ever get in that rut in life of never quite accomplishing what you think you should be? You have an endless list of need to do’s that you dutifully stare at each day and then in your best, conquer the world stance, immediately decide to stall and go do something… Continue reading To Do List or STILL Undone List?
Hidden in Plain Sight
I heard a sermon recently from Levi Lusko entitled, “Hidden in Plain Sight.” While his point in his sermon is different than mine here, the title, struck a chord. If you’ve been reading each week since I’ve started this blog, then you’re aware of the journey my life has taken over the past year. To… Continue reading Hidden in Plain Sight
Be Still and Know
Do you ever just sit for a few minutes outside in the quiet? I find myself today being drawn to my back porch; listening to the Purple Martins talking to each other. Sitting outside with the sun on my face, I can finally breathe. I mean really breathe…that slow, inhale-exhale without distractions or pressure or… Continue reading Be Still and Know
Welcome to the Wilderness
Do you hear that?? Silence. Somedays, the silence is too short, or it’s been too long since I’ve heard it. Other days, I feel like that’s all I hear, and it can be deafening. When you’re walking through a difficult season, the waiting for it to end can be hard. You may feel like God… Continue reading Welcome to the Wilderness
You Are Strong
“You are so strong.” That’s what a sweet friend of mine said to me this morning. Those words rolled around in my mind and stayed with me after our conversation had ended, and I rode the elevator to my room. “You are strong.” Her comment reminded me about the statements I tell my kids most… Continue reading You Are Strong
C.O.F.F.E.E.
Coffee…six little letters…count them..six. So small..so insignificant, it should hardly merit a mention. But for me, it’s roots have burrowed deep in my heart. Maybe your six little letters don’t spell coffee. Maybe your letters spell Facebook, Candy Crush or Pinterest? Maybe they spell Amazon-I mean, who doesn’t love Amazon Prime? Maybe your letters are… Continue reading C.O.F.F.E.E.
I’ve Got This!
When was the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror and said, “I’ve got this!” Been awhile? To be honest, it’s been awhile for me too. In a year of more change and unknowns than I’ve experienced in quite a while, the idea of ‘I’ve got this’ has been pretty far from my… Continue reading I’ve Got This!
Fear Not!
After 14 years in pharmaceutical sales, I was ending the third week in June 2016 going through a review for a future promotion. That following week, one week exactly from being told ‘you’re exactly the kind of person we want to keep and promote at this company,’ I received a call that was quite literally,… Continue reading Fear Not!
Live Like You’re Loved!
You ever hear a song on the radio and something about it strikes a chord within you? You automatically have that overwhelming feeling of ‘truth’. That was me yesterday afternoon as I was in my car driving from one appointment to the next when Hawk Nelson’s song, Live Like You’re Loved played on the radio.… Continue reading Live Like You’re Loved!
“You’re NOT Invited” A Gift of Love
I’m not sure why some people always seem like they fit in and others always seem to struggle finding their group-their ‘tribe’. From the time I was little, I always seemed to be a wanderer when it came to finding friends. Sometimes, I’d have 1-2 close friends I’d spend time with and other times, I… Continue reading “You’re NOT Invited” A Gift of Love
