Happy Valentine’s Day! While most of you are just beginning the day, mine is drawing to close over here in Kolkata, India. What a unique way to spend Valentine’s Day. Today love was… Grasping the frail hand of an elderly woman at Prem Dan, the Missionaries of Charity hospital for tuberculosis patients, and gently massaging […]
A few of my favorite things this week… Teeth cleaning today. Really, I love it! An inbox full of banter between our India team who are preparing to leave Wednesday. Say some prayers for us! World Book Night! Okay, pause here for a moment because this is super cool. I read about it on Margaret‘s […]
There is an art to communication. Great communicators inspire us to be better, motivate us to act and encourage us to dream. In all of my efforts through the years to grow as a leader, I under-valued the importance of growing as a communicator until recently. Because my job doesn’t require speaking to masses of […]
Hello Friday! What a great week. I’m so proud of the Leading and Loving It team. Nearly 2700 women participate in the JustONE Conf this week. Amazing! If you’re a pastor’s wife or women in ministry, you need to jump in and join us Monday. Get all the details here. Several conversations this week helped […]
Whew! Very full week with a lot of great things happening! I’m totally sucked into Downton Abbey. I really believe I should have been born in England. The Brits get me every time! We watched the entire first season in a week! Had the privilege of going to Elevation for a night of Code Orange […]
We got our first little smattering of snow last night. I use the word smattering because what we got doesn’t even qualify as a dusting. 60 degrees on Wednesday. 28 degrees and snow on Thursday. Nashville weather is so weird! What’s more weird is that schools are closed today. I love the drama of the […]
C O N T E N T M E N T Here I go again… choosing a word (my One Word) that I don’t even remotely resemble on a day-to-day basis. I’m a little bit of an anxious soul. It’s probably the single biggest conversation my husband and I repeatedly have. I hear the words […]
I’m spending the week at my Dad’s house catching up with family and getting some relaxing time before we go racing into the New Year. This is always one of my favorite weeks of the year. It seems like all of life slows down a bit allowing for some good planning and reflection. Family time […]
H U M I L I T Y Wow, this word has been a journey! I chose humility as my One Word for 2011. I figured I wouldn’t finish the year in complete control of this word… if I believed that I had… well that would be a problem. I chose humility because I wanted […]
I love Christmas music! For a short time in elementary school I took piano lessons. I spent the entire year preparing to play “O Holy Night” for our church Christmas Eve service. I still remember how nervous I felt as I sat down at that piano bench and nervously plunked out a primitive version of […]
