Happy New Year. Welcome to "Someday". You know that day you said you'd write that book, start that company, or do that other thing God's been whispering in your ear? When the clock struck midnight last night Someday arrived. The thing is that Someday arrived in a world that has lost its way. We are … Continue reading Wake up! It’s “Someday”.

I found myself recently having a respectful exchange of ideas with someone who expressed concerns about “cancel culture”. If you’re not a Fox News regular, then you might not recognize that as their mock-concern talking point in response to the removal of confederate statues. Not only do I detest the hypocritical resistance to our nation’s … Continue reading Confederate Statues & “Cancel Culture”

Hey, Sis! So, I’m still working on becoming the woman of my dreams. Today’s musing in my quiet time was about confidence and humility. There seems to be a narrow isthmus between the two upon which we must balance while walking out our God-given purpose. To wade into one side or the other can mean … Continue reading Trash-Talking & Giant Toppling

I was blessed this month to be asked by Destiny Image Publishers to write an article for their blog. It's a bit longer than my usual post but I still wanted to share it with you here. I hope it blesses you!

Here’s the thing about transformation – true transformation. It’s quiet. It’s incremental. It’s consistent. It … Continue reading Transformation

More on becoming the Women of our Dreams. I grew up in Mims which is a quaint little township in northern Brevard County, Florida. Mims is located on one of the only still undeveloped stretches of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The first thing you must understand is that there is Mims and there is … Continue reading The Journey to Springtime

This week I had dinner with a friend who is the president of an international communications agency based out of London with offices in South America and California. He is a larger-than-life, magnetic person and although we are the same age, he has accomplished so much more than I have in my communications career. From … Continue reading The Power of Pregnant Friends

Sometimes when I am quiet and still, I close my eyes and I see this woman. She’s confident. She’s poised. She’s articulate. She’s secure, loving and kind. Her words are infused with wisdom and life. She is a mentor and a mother to anyone who shows up needing one. Whatever she touches flourishes and grows. … Continue reading The Woman of My Dreams

In 2019 I turned 50. I didn't think too much of it. I didn't feel 50 and I don't look 50 so who cares? It's just a number, right? Weeelll, not really. Because I have to admit since the big 5-0, in addition to creaky knees (seriously??) there has been a little voice inside my … Continue reading #2020 A Year of Resuscitated Dreams
