A Gathering of Women- a Sharing of Love

July 26, 2012

If there was ever a doubt in my mind about who my market is as I do more speaking and sell my books, today’s gathering of women confirmed that I am in the right place, doing the work I am supposed to be doing. An amazing giving woman named Lois read my book in less […]

Contentment Can’t be Bought

March 18, 2011

“Life, we think, is simply a series of tasks to perform, a list of things to do: get the job, buy the house, finish the degree, have the children, do the work. It takes years to figure out, if we ever do, that life is not a task at all. Life is far more difficult […]

What is Your Mack Truck Experience?

January 28, 2011

As I was getting lost in the world of Twitter this morning, and clicking over to websites to meet new people, I remembered a conversation I had with my friend Jay Heinlein. We were talking about my own memoir called She Moved Mountains, and he suggested I talk to people about their own life stories, […]

Waiting with Hope

December 1, 2010

What if We Really Trusted God?

October 5, 2010

So how would your day be different if you really trusted that God would not let you down? This is the question my fifteen year old has been pondering this week, and I have been pondering along with her. My initial answer would be that I would live without fear, because I would know deep […]

Gratitude

September 13, 2010

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough. Meister Eckhart I had the luxury of spending the weekend at the family cabin on Columbine Lake right outside Grand Lake. It was an amazing weekend to spend by myself, organizing my journal from 15 years ago […]
