Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 (NLT) The Lord will work out His plans for my life for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me for you made me. Psalm 138:8 (NLT) For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. Romans 11:29 (NLT) I’ve been a writer since I was 6 years old. My first book was The Cloud Factory — ins...

The South often gets a bad rap about how we handle winter weather but what I think is important for other regions of the nation to understand is where northerners and midwesterners (Hey Mizzou crew) are accustomed to navigating snow and ice storms - for us down in the South these happen on an annual or maybe bi-annual basis.

Last week, her grandfather sent us a big batch of snacks which he tends to do every...

From influencers, to politicians and regular folks just like me, many of us are in a period of transition and depending on your headspace it feels a little daunting.

Transition is a natural part of life and it in...

You’re going to need a soft place to sit when I tell you this friend…life is out here whooping a lot of our tails BUT that’s not an excuse to get out of alignment. Over the past 2 months I’ve been fighting my way through postpartum depression and anxiety and while I hoped to wait until I felt 100% to get back on assignment I had to recognize time waits for nobody.

Getting paid for your passion doesn’t has to be as hard as you think but it does require intentionality. Many of you listening to this aren’t being paid for your passion yet because you: * Aren’t clear what your passion is, * Haven’t communicated your passion to others OR * You haven’t created a process for people to pay you! The process can be anything from a checkout button to a link for an invo...

Have you ever wondered why scripture says in Matthew 11:28   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."? What were those Jesus spoke to feeling tired from?
