managing from the strength point
About a year and half ago, I was introduced to the concept of strengths management. Having grown up as someone who always looked at overcoming weaknesses, this was a really hard topic for me. Frankly, it’s something I still struggle to fully grasp.  I’m glad it...
Do we have a bad connection?
I’m walking through an AMAZING book with the girls in my Bible study/ discipleship group. We’ve covered tons of topics and had to peel back some personal labels as we’ve turned each page. But, one thing that hit me this morning, as I was reading, was a statement....
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie You’ll Ever Eat
It seems so trivial, yet as a foodie and baker developing The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie was a high priority. Why other things did not fall on the list, I don't know. Maybe I'll try a brownie next. Some might call it the absolute best chocolate chip cookie or the...
Advent 2014
So, it begins...Advent 2014. Each year, I seem to get to this point and wonder how did it happen so fast. How did 365 days pass and yet again I find myself peering into the manger staring at the baby Jesus. The Mother Mary. The father,...
Tigers in Overtime
I shared this earlier in the week on social media, but I'm sharing it here. For my memories. And, because the words are still in my heart. In college, we all have our place and our people. They are who make our experiences rich and who fill our...
Dreaming and Listing
So, as I read, I dreamed. I keep telling myself its perfectly normal to read any book with a pen and highlighter in your hand. That most people write in the margins and when asked a question, they answer them (right there in the book). So, as I read our...
OVERCOMER: reflections

OVERCOMER: Keisha Pittman
So, its my turn.  My Overcomer story. You would think after I read everyone's entry that it would be super easy to just click away at my little laptop keyboard and crank something out After all, I had 30 chances to read and grab on to something. But, if I've...
OVERCOMER: Sarah Hood
I love that this friend fought to the end to make sure she was part of this journey. We are not super close, but when we get together as part of the blogger chicks or our "special interests" groups, I find the late night parking lot chats after we shut down a...
OVERCOMER: Jacqueline Wolven
I don't even know where to begin with this woman. The fact that I've been privileged to spend 2 evenings in the last 5 days with her has my heart leaping with glee. She is genius. She has life experience. She is bold. She is vocal. She knows who she is, is...
