One of my favorite authors is Martha Bolton. She’s written over 80 books, but the ones that I especially like are the funny ones where she talks about getting older in a fun way. The titles alone are enough to make you smile – Cooking with Hot Flashes: Discovering New Talents in Middle Age, Growing […]

How RICH Is Your Life?
I have a pretty simple philosophy. I believe every woman can live a RICH life. And you don’t have to spend money to do it. A RICH life is a life that’s real, inspiring, lived by choice, and makes you happy. Let’s break down what Real, Inspiring, Choice, and Happy mean in this context. Real […]
Count the Cost of Fear
Too many gifted women are not using the gifts they have been blessed with because they’re scared. Scared of failing. Scared of looking foolish. Scared that they’re going to mess up.

Momentary Troubles
There are times in your life when things are going great, you wake up every morning with a song in your heart, you are hearing from God and He’s guiding you every step of the way. But what about those other times – the times when things aren’t going well, everything’s falling down around you […]

Clear The Clutter So I Can Hear Your Voice, Lord
Have you ever said, “I want to know that the voice I’m hearing is the voice of God?” I know I have. But I’ve also come to learn that it’s not enough to want to hear God’s voice. My desire has to be deeper. I have to desire to know that the voice I’m hearing […]
Are You A Fighter?
I have never been in a physical fight in my life. The closest I ever came to actually fighting anyone was one time when I was in junior high school.
