Two guys go to the same high school at roughly the same time. One believes he is more than his circumstances, writes in other people’s yearbooks that he will be somebody someday, ignores the snickers and laughs, gets away from that small-minded little town, and becomes a world renowned speaker and motivator. The other guy [...]
The Invitation
January 10, 2013 By · 3 Comments
It was 1999. Such a long time ago. Y2K loomed over us like the Mayan Calendar. I had just left my corporate job and returned to school to, as one professor put it, “chase a little piece of paper.” I had not yet met my husband, so weekends when my oldest two daughters were at [...]
Creating Space for a New Year
December 31, 2012 By · 1 Comment
As 2012 comes to a close, I’m looking around the house and deep in my heart for things to remove from my life… creating space for all the good that will come in 2013. I used to try to get “more organized” every year, but sometimes, I would go beyond finding a place for everything [...]

July 23, 2012 By · 5 Comments
I don’t have a Life List. I had a 40 x 40 list once. I think I created it a few months before my 40th birthday. And it wasn’t really even a 40 x 40. It was more like a 30 x 40 list. I’m still not sure what made me put some of the [...]

Yesterday, I didn’t tell you what I feel my calling is and what I want to do because it seems crazy and if I were to pursue it, I might turn my family’s life upside down… but if it worked, it would be so cool. Last night, I shared my post with my husband and [...]
