Hi all! It's a dreary Monday here in North Alabama. And that makes me want to curl up with a blanket, a novel, and a good cup of coffee. {I call this combination "prelude to a nap."} But we're on the final countdown to our Love Loud conference this weekend at my church. My dear friends Kate and Kristi will be sharing words of encouragement and challenge to about 150 women. I am super excited about what God is going to do!! But somehow all these last minute details have converged ... and ... [Read More]
Stalling on Your New Year Start?
Somehow by the middle of January all the glisten and shine on our New Year's resolutions and goals has begun to tarnish.

Join me on Alabama Women Bloggers as I share two ways to respond when you find yourself stalling on all your big goals for 2014. ... [Read More]

What Is Your Desire for 2014?
January 2, 2014. Really? Seems surreal to me. I'm finding the truth in what my grandmother says about time going faster the older you get.

Yesterday I wrote in my journal, "I don't have a One Word for this ... [Read More]
{action step} Breathe
I don't know about you but when I look at the calendar and see it's already November 8, I feel the panic attack coming. We're getting really close to that crazy time of year when life seems to erupt into utter chaos and we are supposed to be four places at once and I finally end up saying, "We're not going anywhere!"

Establishing Your Priorities
Well hello there! Thanks for joining me today. This week we're talking about ordering our days. Remember, I told you I didn't have any sort of magic plan to make life smooth. {Oh how I wish I did!!} Instead, we're going to explore three basic concepts to provide a framework for ordering our days. First up – establishing priorities. Last week I shared how the idea of good v. best can often become a struggle for us. Today I want to unpack that idea a little bit more and give you some ...
