Then there are so many more years in life where you will have time to pursue other things. The Bible says "the gifts and callings of God are without repentance" [...]

What if All of it is a Gift?

***Artwork by Loré Pemberton Did you know that it’s okay to enjoy a simple life? I know it sounds so contrary to this rush, work, hustle culture that we are immersed in, but does any of this resonate with you? I know in my experience, even as a former pastor’s wife and church being a [...]

Ready to REST and INVEST?

The high value of having a coach is to have someone in your life who can see YOU being YOU!  Somebody you don’t have to perform a function for.  Somebody that you don’t have to be a wife for, or a mother for, or a leader for, or an employee for, or a child for.  [...]

Look Who Decided to BLOOM!

Look who decided to BLOOM on Easter! I’ve never been great with indoor plants, but I’ve kept this girl alive for 10 years!  And that makes me proud.

There are many opportunities to be upset by people in our lives. From the person who cut you off in traffic, to the one who dings your car with their door and didn't say sorry, to the boss that got brilliant results with your idea and never gave you credit for it. These things are [...]

How has that been working for you? The only person we can change is OURSELVES, and that's GREAT NEWS, [...]

What if You Are More Powerful Than You Know?

The other day I was reading the journal I started when I was pregnant with our son, Landon, our first born. Getting acquainted with the beautiful little mother within me causes all those lovely emotions to surface once again. The wonder-filled conversations with the little man I had yet to formally meet makes me remember [...]

Your Legacy Exists Today!

As parents we often think of what type of legacy we will leave to our children and grandchildren. But what if I told you that your legacy is actually being formed TODAY?
