Remember the good ole days of adolescents when if you felt like you just couldn’t face the world you declared a “sick day”? Maybe it was the test you failed to prepare for or the ex you just couldn’t bear to face… whatever the issue you, suckered your parents into believing your weren’t well and […]

By title I am the rule maker and the rule keeper. It’s kind of a given as the Executive Director of an organization. But guess what? I hate rules, policies & most procedures. Most of the time they are a necessary evil. On a few occasions they are necessary. On most occasions they’re evil. Why […]
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 […]
I’ve developed a new fascination… Rare books, preferably first editions of some of my favorites like Anne of Green Gables. (Btw, I can’t actually afford these books… I just like to search for them and imagine a library in my home full of them.) Reading didn’t come easily for me as a child. My memories […]
Ok, I have to share… I have a small pet peeve. I cringe when I see things that are labeled “Christian”. I’ll give you an example: Over the Christmas holiday, my husband and I made the long drive back to Wisconsin to visit some of my family. I usually busy myself with reading or writing […]
Probably one of the greatest challenges for young leaders is finding your leadership voice. We mimic. We compare. We try and fail. We try again. We have moments of success and moments of failure (perceived and sometimes real). Our inconsistency in leading is nauseating for us and those we lead. While some elements of leadership […]
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 […]
On the couple of trips I made to Honduras last year, one of the landmarks that got my attention was a wind farm just south of the great city of Tegucigalpa. 51 wind turbines tower above the hilly landscape providing a significant energy source for the country. Juxtaposed against their primitive and poverty-stricken surroundings, the […]
There are a lot of special people in my life. People who I want to champion, encourage, coach, mentor and just all around support. But every once in awhile I realize I am not enough. I can’t be all of the things they need all of the time. There will be moments that they need […]
