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. And I [...] [...more]
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 Important [...] [...more]
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]
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 [...] [...more]
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 on the [...] [...more]
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]
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]
This Spring in my Crosspoint Community Group, we have been studying a book called Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero. Big title, right? It’s a big study too. It is the kind of book that makes you dig deep, ask tough questions, and work through your issues – and let’s face it we all have [...] [...more]
It is really starting to feel like summer. (If it would only stop raining here in Nashville? I swear you’d think we live in a rainforest with the way the weather has been.) I love summer. I don’t love the heat. But I love summer.
Here are 10 of my favorite things about summer:
1. Road Trips [...] [...more]
Last night, I returned home after being gone almost a week. And as much as I loved my week with the family at the beach, it was nice to be home. (Or at least back in Nashville, as I expressed here there is some confusion for me about where home is.)
There are times when I [...] [...more]
