I created a writing challenge for myself – America Me & Mine – to write 20 244-word blog posts about what America means to me. If you’d like to learn more about it and even join me, you can get more information here. I’d love to have you join me! Today’s post was about storytelling.Continue reading “What’s Your Story?”

Something Old, Something New
The online journal I use sends me daily flashbacks of journal entries. The following is my entry from July 4, 2016. I mean, what do I want really? Really? I want to follow God wherever He leads me. I want to bridge high school and college. I want to help people learn to become betterContinue reading “Something Old, Something New”
Be You
Did you know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made? That God made you with a purpose? God took the time to intricately form not only your body but also your personality, characteristics, gifts, talents, and perspective. He created you because He has work that only you, with your unique personality, characteristics, gifts, talents, andContinue reading “Be You”
Seek to Serve
We are called to serve, but we can only serve out of abundance, not lack. An empty vessel has nothing to pour. Leaders who don’t understand they need fuel to thrive or how they provide value cannot serve well. How can you serve? Start with what you’re good at. Sometimes we think service must lookContinue reading “Seek to Serve”
Learning to Lead Your Lizard Brain
Yesterday I attended the first session in a Master Mind Institute webinar series about neuroscience and life coaching. I learned fresh ways to consider and discuss emotions, and I’m excited to align my new learning with the lessons I gleaned from Susan David’s Emotional Agility. The amygdala is an almond-shaped, almond-sized section of the brain that houses emotional experiences and responses.Continue reading “Learning to Lead Your Lizard Brain”
Learning is Your Responsibility
Learning is your responsibility. I tell my kids that all the time. They know they must learn something every day (including days they don’t have school), whether or not someone has taught them anything. The death knell for them would be to come home from school and tell me they hadn’t learned anything. Sometimes I think they scrambleContinue reading “Learning is Your Responsibility”
Fascinating and Fruitful Literature
When I was about 8 years old and didn’t care a lick about God, I read the bible in my free time. I know that sounds bizarre, but hear me out. The bible is fascinating literature. I loved reading the incredible stories – giants, floods, massacres, water beasts, talking animals, talking bushes, plagues, slavery, intrigue, animal sacrifices,Continue reading “Fascinating and Fruitful Literature”
What Questions do You Have?
I have questions. About everything. Constantly. In conversation, I ask myriad questions, not because I disbelieve, but because I’m intrigued. Vast knowledge exists in the world, and I understand so little of it. I crave to know more. I love to learn. Learning, however, is difficult and painful. It takes effort to approach, digest, understand,Continue reading “What Questions do You Have?”
Smiling to Transformation
My daughter’s resting face is … severe. Her friends kid with her about it, and people often tell her to smile more. But I tell her, “You don’t have to smile if you don’t want to, but when you do feel like smiling, we will all be in awe of your radiance.” When my girlContinue reading “Smiling to Transformation”
Do You Know Your Passions?
The first time I felt my daughter move when I was pregnant with her seemed like someone sprinting in my stomach. I couldn’t believe it. I had heard the first time you recognize your baby moving feels like butterfly wings, or a faint rustle, or like leaves floating on the wind. Imagine my surprise whenContinue reading “Do You Know Your Passions?”
