A Womans Guide to Meeting God
I left the eye doctor’s office confident I could put in my new contacts. I just wasn’t sure I could get them out. My doctor had me practice before heading home and I’d put them in like a pro but getting them out wasn’t quite as easy. I needed her help to remove them each […]
Years ago I wouldn’t have said yes. But I’m not the same person now. Years ago, the practical side of me would have come up with ten thousand reasons it wasn’t practical for us to book a hotel room in the morning and be sitting by the pool hours away from home the same afternoon. […]
It all started with two blue pills. No, not that kind. I’d been battling a cold for close to two weeks and just when I thought I might be getting better—bam!—things took a turn for the worse. I had a weekend long conference and needed to be able to focus without the nasty distraction of […]

Let me explain. I spoke for two events in San Francisco. When I booked my return flight, I almost chose […]
Come on, admit it. You bought something on black Friday or Cyber Monday. Most of us did. Why? Because you wanted a deal. You wanted to save money, shop wisely and get a jump on your Christmas gifts. Some of you (the ones I secretly hate and admire, simultaneously) finished your shopping. But I’m betting […]

But I do know this: my prayers matter and so do yours. Especially for those we love. In all honesty, my husband […]
Congratulations Linda Reno! You are the lucky winner of Uninvited, by Lysa Terkeurst. I sensed something was wrong. Let me rephrase that. I smelled something wrong.
