Here We Go Again…

Man, this one is a hard one to write and I’m not quite sure why. Maybe because somehow blogging about it makes it feel more real? Maybe because I know it will provoke questions I am not ready to answer? Maybe because I know some of your reading this should have heard it directly from me […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

3 Things You Should Read This Week

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 […]

Going. Going. Gone.

Yesterday, I packed up what was left of my life in California. In between errands and goodbyes, I stole an hour with my friend Jennie {yes, I reposted a guest post I did for her yesterday} and her husband Zac. They like many, asked how my transition has been, what I’m leaving behind and what […]

A Look Back At Words

A year ago {almost to the day}, my friend Jennie asked me to share my thoughts on some word prompts. The post is below. Crazy how my answers still ring true and my words speak reassurance to me in this new season of change. {PS – Jennie is the real deal. You need to be […]

Words

Today I am guest posting on Jennie Allen’s blog. I had the pleasure of spending some time with Jennie several weeks ago as I was finishing up at Thomas Nelson. And I just adore her. She has the kindest spirit. She is fun. She has a heart for adoption. {She and her husband just adopted […]
