Today's list is full of things like laundry and vacuuming and writing columns for the local paper and stopping by the chiropractor and filling prescriptions and cleaning out my car. It's the mundane stuff I often write on Monday's to do list. The little things that help me start the week better. These are not the earth-changing things, tasks that move mountains or inspire the masses. Instead, Monday is full of the small things ... the steady hum of my dryer as all those piles are slowly ...

Book Review: What Keeps You Up at Night by Pete Wilson
A year ago I was coming home from She Speaks amazed and excited! While in Charlotte I had been contacted by a publisher and was anticipating a book contract by the beginning of 2015. I found an incredible literary agent and worked hard to craft a book proposal. That first proposal was rejected. I wrote a second one ... and it still sits in a pile somewhere at the publisher. To say I was crushed would be an understatement. I've struggled hard since the beginning of 2015 trying to figure out ... [Read More]
The 5 Most Important Things I Do Every Day
Laundry. Checking on aging grandparents. Dishes. Making the beds. Taking my girl to whatever she has going on. Wiping the bathroom counter. Fixing a meal. Chatting about the day's activities with my husband. Feeding the dog. And the list goes on and on. My everyday, every day tasks are probably pretty similar to yours. So much of life is about doing the same things over and over. Every day we do the everyday stuff. We check mail and pay bills. We wash dishes and sort laundry. We connect with ... [Read More]
3 Reasons I Am No Longer Apologizing for My Busy Schedule
Monday I came out ... I admitted I'm busy and acknowledged that many of you probably are busy also. I shared this simple prayer: Even in my busy-ness may my heart be focused on Kingdom business. Here's the thing, I've spent a lot of time hiding my crazy schedule or making light of it. But this is where I am ... this is the place God has me right now. And it is okay. I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with with. He has made everything beautiful in ... [Read More]
The Fringe Hours {book review}
I mentioned a few weeks ago how much I love my journaling Bible. I really do. I'm not particularly artistic but I am enjoying learning to do hand lettering and to use Scripture to form my own brand of art. It's becoming one of those releases for me ... a time when I am both challenged and inspired. And I love doing it. {I actually have sold a few of my prints ... who knew??} There is something equally relaxing and stimulating about taking time to do something I love. Whether the something is ... [Read More]
Your Favorite Posts of 2014
2014 is over and this week my goal is to get back into my blogging groove. December was a crazy month and while I did LOVE sharing some Advent thoughts from the Gospel of Luke every day on Facebook, I didn't manage to blog as much as I had hoped. So, here we are in January. My girl goes back to school on Wednesday so we're relishing our last bit of Christmas break with some shopping and salon-ing. {Yeah, I just made up that word.} I'm looking forward to some fun family time before we jump ...
