Not Your Traditional Thanksgiving

Not Your Traditional Thanksgiving

To say I was raised among avid travelers is an understatement. Everyone in my family was born with a major case of wanderlust and a passport in hand. As a case in point, my nieces (the youngest of which is two) are about to make their second international trip. (I know, my sister, brother-in-law, and his parents [...] [...more]

My Homage to Birmingham

My Homage to Birmingham

Before I moved to Nashville, I lived in one of the most underrated cities in the South. Yes, Birmingham, Alabama, is seriously underrated. After I graduated from college, I was back home in Dallas and I was pretty miserable. (After spending my college years in Boulder, I found “Big D” to be a little large and [...] [...more]

Catalyst ‘O9, Quick Highlights

Catalyst ‘O9, Quick Highlights

I went into Catalyst with some incredibly high expectations. And I did not leave disappointed. I left exhausted, like every ounce of me (body, soul and mind) was stretched to the absolute limit, but not the slightest bit disappointed. Brad Lomenick and his team have certainly figured out how to produce a WOW event. As you [...] [...more]

Catalyst ‘09, Here I Come

Catalyst ‘09, Here I Come

On Tuesday afternoon I am headed to Atlanta for Catalyst ‘09. I can not wait. This will be my first “full” Catalyst experience (I attended the One Day this Spring) and I can’t wait to soak it in. The Catalyst Conference is the largest gathering of young leaders in the country, but it pains us to call [...] [...more]

Travel Guide Needed…

Travel Guide Needed…

I need your help. Well, I guess I don’t really NEED it, but I’d love it anyway. Tomorrow afternoon I am headed to the Windy City for a quick weekend getaway. One of my closest friends moved there this summer and so I am flying in to see her new digs and check out her city. [...] [...more]

Women of Faith

Women of Faith

A week or so ago, I traveled to Dallas, Texas for the Women of Faith Conference. Women of Faith is a division of Thomas Nelson and so it was essentially a work trip. And candidly, without my connection to Thomas Nelson, I probably wouldn’t have attended a Women of Faith conference. You see I don’t typically enjoy [...] [...more]

The Summer of Lindsey

This summer has been A COMPLETE WHIRLWIND. I have been traveling non-stop and loving every minute of it. But I am worn out. And my life and my house are in disarray.  (Seriously can’t remember the last time I changed my sheets. I think it was sometime last week but I’m not quite sure.) With all [...] [...more]

One is Silver and the Other's Gold

Way back when, during my time in the Brownies (the pre-Girl Scout society) we used to sing this song: “Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other’s gold.” I never had much of a singing voice (actually I never had ANY of a singing voice) but those lyrics sung over-and-over [...] [...more]

Legacies You Want to Leave Behind

Legacies You Want to Leave Behind

Last Christmas when I was in Texas with my family, we went to this A-MAZ-ING independent bookstore in Plano, Legacy Books. Legacy Books was the kind of bookstore where you get lost in books. You wander around for hours and discovering new authors, exciting adventures, and gourmet recipes. You sip on lattes while browsing through a [...] [...more]

San Francisco Bound

On Saturday, I am headed to San Francisco and the Napa Valley. To say I am excited, doesn’t really cut it. I am elated, beside myself, about to burst. My traveling companion is a good friend, Sarah, who I have gotten close to since I moved to Nashville. This summer Sarah is moving to Chicago – [...] [...more]
