Sprinkle Love All Around

Sprinkle Love All Around. This was my response to a Facebook group question, “If you wrote a song about recent experiences in your life, what would the title be?” I was thrilled when the immediate response that came out of my brain and flowed down through my...

My Imperfect Hospitality

When I was a little girl, I remember my mom having the neighbors over for coffee on a somewhat regular basis. I always loved to sneak in and listen to them talk about what was going on in the neighborhood. Of course, my mom only tolerated my invasion for a short...

Mindful Movement

Conferences are events where we set aside time for growth, relationship building, and (hopefully) some fun. Conferences usually have a profound impact on me. I can point to major decisions and revelations that have emerged in my life after attending a growth-focused...
