Words That Carry Great Meaning

The other morning I was getting dressed and watching the morning news show. They were talking about the legendary Maya Angelou, one of the most profound writers of our time who recently passed away. What the host said got my attention. In speaking of how the great Maya Angelou would be remembered, she said “Her words always had such great…

New Year. New You.

It’s that time of year when we all start taking inventory of our lives. We consciously think about how we can improve ourselves, our life in general, and the lives of our family. We call it making New Year’s resolutions. Over the weekend, I was thinking about these things myself, in regards to my own personal life. Of course, there are things I want to improve. I made a list full of the “usual’s” – new fitness goals, new spiritual goals, new financial goals, new plans for my little one, etc. And, of course, the number one New Year’s resolution of all – Follow through on the resolutions!

He is concerned with our actions, specifically how we serve others and how we advance His Kingdom.

One Woman. One Cause. One Revolution.

It’s the weekend (YEA!!), and I am sitting here enjoying my morning and getting my hair done. Every girl needs a few moments to pamper themselves; and thankfully my husband agrees, so he has my darling Emery for the morning. Ben, my hairstylist and friend, and I are here chatting about the upcoming One Women’s Conference. What an incredible time it is going to be! As he scanned through the advertisement, he casually asked me the who’s, what’s and why’s of the conference, which prompted me to share with you.
