Hey & Happy Friday Reader! I'm sharing a valuable resource I think you may appreciate, especially if you’re in a season of transition and wanting to feel more at home in your body again. I recently connected with Cindy Dobroskay, a health and weight loss coach in British Columbia, Canada (we had a GREAT time chatting - I lived in Canada during 5th grade as an Air Force brat) who works specifically with women in midlife. What I appreciated right away is that her approach isn’t about pressure,...

Fall in Love with Obedience My dear friend and sistah in Christ, Semonna McNeill, is hosting the Fall in Love with...

Hey there, Reader, I'm sending Happy New Year blessings your way, along with a gentle invitation to join me as I teach on Proverbs 2 this Friday at 7am ET. Wisdom is Calling YOU... I'm super-grateful for ALL God did in me as I participated in the 31 days of Proverbs during December 2025. And since it's being offered again in January (and every month of 2026 with 31 days), I wanted to be IN...and I didn't wanna keep it to myself. I'm teaching on Friday, January 2 (and Wednesday, January 7 - my...

Hey there, Reader, God has been workin' on a sistah this year! And that's a good thing...I am GRATEFUL! We get purged so we can bring forth MORE fruit (John 15:2). It's been a full year - navigated some health challenges, transitioned to a new job role, settled into a new home, supported my young adults who are getting closer to the college graduation goal (whoo hoo!) - and I continue to experience God's amazing grace. Sharing some things on my heart to help you stay encouraged... Hope*Story...

Heyyyy there, Reader! This is FRESHLY recorded just 4 u...I hope you'll take 10 minutes to listen to Consecrated or Contaminated and let me know what you think. Cuz in the midst of life, sometimes we just need a reminder... We are called to be holy in all our conduct. Consecration means being set apart for God's use. Holiness is a choice we make daily. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to live righteously. God is a God of process, shaping us over time. Acknowledging our contamination is...

Hey there, Reader, If you've felt stuck lately, trust me, I GET IT. This one is for YOU, sis! Join me LIVE on YouTube in The Convo Lab for "Let’s Talk About Spiritual Voyeurism" TONIGHT at 6pm ET. Questions on how I came up with this? Check out my blog for the backstory - but here's the bottom line: Watching others without intent to take your OWN obedient action is just…wrong. Why? Because delayed obedience = disobedience. *I was convicted. I repented. And I'm moving forward in obedience....

It's "go" time, Reader, And yet, am I the only one still trying to find my rhythm in this season’s flurry of activity? I didn’t think so…and it's the reason I'm sending this to you real-time middle of the night/crack of dawn...OK wait, dawn is nowhere in sight at nearly 2am...I need to go to bed for real! LOL I see you, friend…you’re a mom—but you’re so much more. You’re a leader, a woman of faith, a professional, a caretaker, and a human being who deserves support. The Back to School...

Hey there, Reader! Both of my college students are back at school <wheeeee!>. So. Many. Stories. Seriously...even though they're (semi-)adults <why can't I say "grown?" Geez!> And yet, it all happened so fast it made my head spin. But it also made me realize that it's almost been ONE FULL YEAR since the launch of Back to School, Back to You: A Mom's Guide to Balance and Blessing in a School Year Transition. In the chapter I contributed to this inspiring collaborative book, I reflect on...
