Church and the Single Girl, Part 2

I have been avoiding this. This processing, this writing, this — dare I say it, I really don’t want it to be — calling. After my last post, I have felt so BURDENED. I thought that I felt burdened before, that I needed to write those words, and that I needed to publish them but then once they were out […]

Keeping Track of Time As It Flies By

For the last almost-three weeks I have been in Dallas, trying to keep track of the time as it flies by. The bulk of the first two weeks was spent enjoying my three nieces who were visiting from their home in Raleigh. We had so much fun, experiencing a Texas safari, swimming every afternoon at […]

Homeward Bound

Tomorrow I am packing up my car and my dog and heading to Texas for three weeks. Three weeks. I haven’t spent that much time in Texas in the last ten years. And of course, I pick three of the hottest weeks of the year. {I need to have my head checked.} “Why would you […]

Can I Just Say?

Sometimes I am just plain GROUCHY. It is NOT PRETTY, but it is TRUE and REAL. Yes, I know. I don’t really have ANYTHING to be grouchy about. All my fundamental needs are being met. I have a wonderful job, a loving family, and this fantastic group of friends. I belong to an incredible church. […]

Scaling Back

A couple of months ago, I was gathered with some very smart ladies at Cultivate Her and having a discussion about relationships. (No, not the juicy kind.) And my wise friend Eve Annuziato said something I keep coming back to. Eve said that when she turned 30 she sat down and created three lists: Very […]

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 […]

I Am A Big Scaredy Cat Or Something Like That…

Or maybe I just know what I want? Or maybe I have no idea what I want? Or maybe I am content with where I am right now? Or maybe I am seriously afraid of change or of just putting myself out there? But in my defense, I have no fear meeting new people, confessing […]

Viva La Vida

Last Saturday night, ColdPlay was in Nashville. And I went to see them perform at The Sommet Center. And as Michael Hyatt, would say it was a “wow experience.” And it was not just a “wow experience” because I had low expectations. My Birmingham friends had certainly built the experience up during long play-by-play recaps […]

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 […]

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 […]
