If you want to know how long it takes to write a book, the answer {for me at least} is—the whole series of "West Wing." No joke, I started writing with the first season as my background noise because Aaron Sorkin's writing is genius. And yesterday I hit send on the email to my editor with manuscript attached just as President Bartlet said, "Tomorrow" in the final episode. #BarletForAmerica, y'all. In other news, today is National Authors' Day and since it's been two months since I shared ... [Read More]
You’ve Got This! {a prayer for the embracers of Lopsided Living}
Welcome to Day 31 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! Well, my friends, we made it to the end. Can I tell you I really wasn't sure this would happen? Not because of you, of course. But because somehow my silly little self thought I could write a 31-day series about one of the topics I care most deeply about AND finish the manuscript for my first book at the same time. But guess what?? We did it! And I mean WE because every email you sent me this month, every comment you left, every kind ... [Read More]
Remember Your Why
Welcome to Day 30 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! On Sundays we consider a verse and how God's Word is a faithful guide for us as we pursue Lopsided Living.

Lopsided living isn't about getting more done or having it all together or impressing anyone else. The purposeful pursuit of ... [Read More]
Grace Is for Everyone — even yourself!
Welcome to Day 29 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! It's our last Saturday together. Man, I hope you've been encouraged. I keep thinking about how this information probably isn't stuff you've never heard before but also that sometimes it just takes hearing it in a new way or at the right time for it to sink in. That's what I'm praying for all of us — that we will let this truth about the abundant life to the full God has for us sink in deep and change everything about us and our ... [Read More]
Two Lists You REALLY Need
Welcome to Day 28 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! I've learned a lot since I first started practicing this idea of Lopsided Living almost ten years ago. And one thing I know for certain — I often experience times of great success in living life this way and there have been seasons when I have known nothing but epic failure. Why am I telling you this? I mean, you're reading because you want to know this is doable and you can actually have the abundant life God offers every day, right? ... [Read More]
Enlist Help
Welcome to Day 27 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! I love talking about community and how we need each other. This week we've been covering some important truths: People are always our priority. We need to be encouragers (and it doesn't have to be hard). Building community and enjoying our relationships with others is valuable. Today, though, we move into some tough territory. We've covered it briefly before ... but I gave you options and so you may well have chosen something ... [Read More]
