“Would anyone like to role play a tough conversation?” I ask. By their response, it looks like I’ve asked if anyone would like their hair pulled out one strand at a time. They look down at the table, then sneak wide-eyed looks at each other. I had just finished teaching my 7 Steps to Tough

Don’t Feed Your Monster
An author friend of mine recently met with a potential publisher. Their first question wasn’t about the quality of her writing. It was, “How many Twitter followers do you have?” She only had 5,000, which just wasn’t enough to get her a book deal. If you’re a business owner, you know the term “platform.” It’s

Radio Show- The Quest: Part 1
Odds are…a church won’t take a chance on doing something oddly different in their services.

Radio Show- The Quest: Part 2
The Symphony: A melding of offered talents and glorious sounds that together create something transcendent. I’m usually just a watcher from the cheaper seats, a taker-inner, letting the music move me, a muse for my creative musings. I love it. But I’ve never gone behind the curtain.

For the Love of Chocolate
Recently, a company asked me to record a few video blogs about how I experience God’s love and how we can show others that God loves them. I’m guessing this probably isn’t what they were expecting…

What I Learned in Evansville
For the life of me, I can’t remember my friend’s birthdays. Last Friday morning, just before I left to teach at a women’s retreat, I texted a dear friend in town to say, “I want to bring you one of my LOVED shirts so you can wear it and feel loved all day long on your birthday!”
