Bridge Builder. Solution Seeker. Everyday Encourager.
OVERCOMER: Lisa Cooper
This past year, my heart has been so empty. Wanting to pour into other women and use the experiences of life and the journey God has walked me through. This summer I visited a community group. My weekday schedule had shifted and I had time to join a group that...
OVERCOMER: Heidi Clark
Heidi was always the girl behind the Great Day Farms brand to me. I know that’s not her full job and more importantly, not all of who she is. I met Heidi at the AWBU conference last fall and have enjoyed seeing the vulnerability of her heart over the last...
OVERCOMER: Debbie Arnold
Where do I begin with one. Debbie is a friend that came in to my life when I moved to NWA and connected with the Arkansas Women Bloggers. She works tirelessly to help maintain the community that we have all come to appreciate. Beyond that, she just loves. She...
OVERCOMER: Channing Barker
I’m so thankful to Channing for contributing. She is a fighter in her own life, but more importantly, she is a fighter for so many in Northwest Arkansas. I’ve never seen her without a smile on her face or a open hand. Love this lady and all that she...
OVERCOMER: April Wingfield
I loved April’s response when I asked her to do this. “You know all my secrets.” She is right. What she left out, was that she knows all mine, too. And, in light of that, we are still friends, but its not the only reason. April was one of my...
OVERCOMER: Greg Pierce
Greg Pierce – he’s a rocker, a technical guru and a Survivor (and Website Moderator at What’sNext a website that provides answers for cancer survivors). Greg is a multi-time cancer survivor. He literally punched cancer I the throat. (that may be...
OVERCOMER: Jen Boyle
Oh what do I say about this lady? Jen has become a dear friend since our pre conversation before her interview with the American Cancer Society. I knew from our first conversation that we would be friends. She is a fighter and warrior in many ways. But, the way...
OVERCOMER: Amanda Farris
#AWBU introduced me to many new friends. Its amazing when you are part of a community of women that you mostly only know “virtually”. Then, you gather, once a year meet for the first time. You even see names and faces that are only faintly familiar. ...
OVERCOMER: Jacqueline Presley
Oh, this little lady is one that makes my NWA worlds keep colliding. Every time I look up, she is connected to the new friends I’m making or in the personal interest groups I’m trying to connect too. (and I love the surprise of seeing her face!) ...
OVERCOMER: Holley Gerth
Oh this sweet lady was quick on my list of Overcomers. When I made my dream list of people I hoped would respond, I quickly added Holley’s name to that list. I’m grateful for her story and the ways she shares it with others. I love her little latte...
OVERCOMER: Abby Turner
 Abby is one of those chicks that loves Ouachita as much (maybe even more) as I do! I met Abby when she was a student at Ouachita and investing all over campus. We share a love of college athletics and torn hearts to be where we love now, but always fight for...
OVERCOMER: Laurie Marshall
Well, this gal will not be a stranger to you. She spent time with us back in April for my Birfday Thursday festivities (yes, the one with the amazing red curls). But, I’ve long admired her. She speaks truth, she makes you laugh, she fights for the things...
