I recently did something really scary. What I did is not important (well, it’s important to me but not so much for you). What IS important is that I was terrified. I still am. But I knew deep in my soul, which I think is deeper than my gut, that it was the right thing. […]

Why I’m Not Afraid Of Ebola
There’s a lot of fear right now in Dallas (and other places in the country) about the Ebola virus. When thinking about scary thing, scripture helps immensely but so do pictures of puppies. This is mine. And for good reason! We seem to be getting conflicting signals and information: people are getting it that really […]
When You’ve Committed to a Race – And You’re Not Prepared
I feel like a bit of a fraud writing this post. You see, because I possess ZERO natural running talent, I have to train if I’m going to run a race. There’s just no two ways about it for me. So if I wasn’t able to train there would truly be only one choice: don’t […]

Why I Love Criticism
I have not always been known to take feedback well. I’m hoping I’m not alone in this, but I truly don’t enjoy being told that anything I’ve done, ever, is anything less than perfect. I realize that’s unrealistic, and yet I continue to live life like this is the reality. When someone points out an […]

Do you Need a Mulligan??
I’m not a golfer, but I do have lots of co-workers that golf, and in golf, my favorite element BY FAR is The Mulligan. Here’s the definition: An extra shot allowed after a poor shot, not counted on the score card. I actually need a couple of them from this last week. I had some […]
