UNdoing Hatred

Everywhere I turn these days people seem to be perturbed, to be brimming over with anger, to be teetering on the edge of hatred. On the gridlocked roads. In crowded football stadiums. On the interwebs. We rage. We incite. We defend. And we all have our excuses about why our latest outrage is justifiable. WE […]

on singleness…

I am a pretty terrible blogger these days. And when I do write, it’s typically about the work I get to do around the world, or on my faith, or the Church. But I have strayed away from the tension-filled posts on living out a season I never dreamed for myself. But when your friends […]

Looking Back at IF:Gathering

Last weekend I gathered with 1,200 women in Austin, Texas, and more than 40,000 online for the first IF:Gathering. Truth be told, both attendees and organizers weren’t quite sure what to expect. The vision to “gather, equip, and unleash the next generation of women to live out their purpose” was clear but everything else was […]

Up On The Watershed

Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road, you can stand there and agonize till your agony’s your heaviest load. You’ll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile. When you’re learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is worth your while. Well, there’s always retrospect to light […]

What IF We Could All Gather As One?

Hey guys. I’m guest posting on (in)courage today about Jennie Allen, the If:Gathering and the idea that we might all gather as one. Hope you’ll go check it out. I met Jennie Allen for the first time in the spring of 2011. It was my final week serving as the Director of Communications at Thomas Nelson and […]

For Those Who Are Feeling Restless…

Oh, the restlessness. I feel it as I climb into bed, as I toss and turn, as I sluggishly awaken after a not-so-restful night’s sleep. I feel it as I commute to work, as I travel both domestically and abroad, as I return emails, and as I share coffee or some jalapeno ranch dip with […]

On Beginning Again

If I ever write a book {oh how I hope I never-ever have to write a book}, I think it will have to be on transitioning. Because I am now officially the transition queen. With three major transitions in three years, I think this is a subject from which I can speak with absolute authority. […]

Join Us At The If:Gathering, Virtually Or In Austin

I have written a few posts over the last few months about the IF : Gathering. I wrote about it here and here. It is something I am honored to be a part of. Honored. I have always been a little timid in large groups of women. Maybe it’s me and my singleness? Maybe it’s […]

Where Feet May Fail

It’s been a crazy couple of years. What was once a casual conversation between friends and colleagues around gathering like-hearted women has become so much more. (Read more about it here or skip to the bottom of the post.) You call me out upon the waters So much more fun {I’m getting there Jennie}. So […]

That We May All Be One

I met Jennie Allen for the first time in the spring of 2011. It was my final week serving as the Director of Communications at Thomas Nelson and Jennie was presenting Anything at Thomas Nelson’s Quarterly Sales Conference. Some might say we are an unlikely duo. Jennie is passionate {sometimes I think she might hit […]
