If you know me, you know I am a high-capacity kind of person. What does that even mean? I think it means God has blessed me with the ability to work at a high level in many arenas. This has played...
Death and Taxes have been called the two certainties in life. I would argue that legacy is another one of those certainties. We will be remembered after we are gone. And I would also argue that...
To say we had a unique Thanksgiving is an understatement. We took advantage of our schedules aligning and decided to take a trip before the busyness of Christmas, band trip, and finals happen. And...
Why do we hate Monday? Why is the thought of the start of a new week so threatening and the weekend so alluring? Why have songs been written about Manic Mondays and Living for the Weekend? And why...
Pibon Ansam. Creole for better together. A phrase that has meant so much to me over six years of being a member of the board for Many Hands For Haiti. A phrase that has become a way of life for me....
I needed to learn a lesson. We all have lessons to learn from time to time and apparently mine for this week was significant. And let me just say it is humbling to realize you don’t have all...
I am, in fact, not 18 anymore. When was the first you had that same realization? When did you fully notice that you don’t have the same energy level that you did in your teen years? When did you...
Yes. Part Deux. Can anyone see the reference? If so I salute you! Here’s the thing… The consensus is that many of us feel bad about resting. As I suspected, I am not the only one. And you aren’t...

A full-plate season. Too much in my plate. Busy, busy, busy!!! Overwhelmed. Stretched. Worn. Do any of these resonate with you? Recently I was talking to one of my allies (my term for my coaching...
Can you imagine the feeling of freedom? It’s not as far away as we thing! Those who know me, know that I have a history of being bullied during my formative years. That part of my story was a heavy...
Wow. What a response! I am humbled and thankful for all the responses I go to my post about learning! You all are amazing. I asked for a simple favor in my Wednesday post and sprinkled through here...
The fabulous Amy Recker and I purchased our home in January of 2020. It was a beautiful 1940 Tudor home in need of some serious TLC and removal of seven layers of wallpaper upstairs. Yes. One layer...

Does anyone else feel like life is a big series of fight or flight moments lately? Are you like me and feel like there is an unnamed urgency with everything? News. Social Media. Schedules....
Recently I was in Northern Maine for a family vacation. It was amazing. We were in Boston for 4 days and then headed north. Can we give God a big round of applause? He really has created some...
