En-courage-ment
Recently, while my husband was away on a trip, my sister came to visit me. We’re working together on a Daniel Fast cookbook and devotional—something that feels both exhilarating and, if I’m honest, a little daunting. I’m not a published author. I’m not a famous chef. I simply had a bold idea, and my sister… Continue reading

Limitless
I was recently on a cross-country flight when I was strangely overcome by how grateful I was to travel. Not just for the places I have gotten to see. Not just for the people travel allows us to spend time with. But for the miracle of flight itself. I know, it sounds weird. But thousands… Continue reading

Or Something Better
My son flew home for a quick visit, and like any mom, I prayed for safe, smooth travels. The last time he came home, the evening fog rolled in thick. After circling for an hour, his flight was rerouted to Los Angeles, and he had to Uber the rest of the way. Not exactly the… Continue reading

Each Part Matters
Even though my bracket is busted, I’m still all in on March Madness. It’s just too compelling not to be—the intensity in every game. What draws me in most is watching the mix of players on a team. The best teams aren’t just talented; they’re the most aligned. Every player knows their role. The point… Continue reading

Both Can Be True
There’s a tension I’ve been noticing lately—one I don’t think we talk about enough. The kind where two things feel true at the same time. We can be grieving something, or someone, we’ve lost and still be taking steps forward. We can feel disappointment in what didn’t happen and still carry hope for what could.… Continue reading

I Am Woman, Hear Me… Surrender
I am woman, hear me… surrender. That’s not exactly the anthem my generation grew up singing. As a Gen X’er, I came of age in the 80s and 90s during a season when feminism felt bold, individualistic, and a little rebellious. We were a generation that prided ourselves on independence. We were told: go to… Continue reading

The Role of a Lifetime
Who has plans for the Oscars? Maybe you’ll watch. Maybe you won’t. Either way, at some point someone will stand on the stage, holding a gold statue, and say it was “the role of a lifetime.” We reserve that phrase for something extraordinary. Rare. Career-defining. Worthy of applause. But I’ve been wondering lately if we’ve… Continue reading

The Let Him Theory
My daughter was recently in town, and one of our favorite things to do together is wander through bookshops. A new one has just opened near us, so naturally it moved to the top of our list. We love slow browsing the hardcovers and paperbacks that remind us where we’ve been and invite us into… Continue reading

Keeping Your Membership Active
“Membership has its privileges.” Most of us recognize the tagline from American Express’s iconic marketing campaign. The message was clear: belonging to this group came with unique, high-value advantages not available to everyone. Access. Benefits. A sense of security. But there was also an implied responsibility. Membership had to be maintained. Accounts had to stay… Continue reading

Learning to Be Sold Out
This past week was our company’s annual sales meeting. People from around the country converged in one place to share insights, research, and industry knowledge, revisit our core values, and cast vision for the year ahead. It’s always a meaningful time—full of learning, collaboration, and connection. Our company has historically been sales-driven, while I lead… Continue reading
