How Do I Live With A Perfectionist?
Morning friends, This is a busy week. We have our virtual CONQUER CONFERENCE this coming weekend and have over 750 women from all over the world attending. Pray for my health, stamina, and all the other speakers and workshop presenters and attendees that they would be encouraged, loved on, and connected more to God and to one another. Today’s Question:…
My Husband Became Verbally Abusive After I Gave Birth To My Son 12 Years Ago
Morning friends, I read a quote recently that has me pondering. It’s by Father Thomas Keating and it says, “There is no commandment that says we have to be upset by the way other people treat us. The reason we are upset is because we have an emotional program that says if someone is nasty to me, I cannot…
My Husband Is On The Spectrum. I Feel Guilty Leaving.
Morning friends, I’ve been practicing living more in the moment lately and I have to tell you it’s freeing. When I can stop worrying about the future or regretting or ruminating about the past, there is a lot to enjoy and be grateful for right now. For example, I was taking a bath, something I rarely do, but had played…
Is Staying Well The Best Option?
Morning friends, I was in Chicago recently visiting with my family. This past weekend was my 50th high school reunion, but sadly it was canceled due to COVID (Of course – I graduated at 10 years old).

Darby is a colleague, friend, and fellow warrior in helping Christian women who are in abusive marriages get sane, safe, and strong. This book expertly and Biblically unpacks the whole concept of controlling abuse in all its forms. I…
He Says He’s Trying To Build Trust, But I Don’t Trust Him
Morning friends, I hope you had a relaxing and fun Labor Day weekend. The weather was beautiful here in the White Mountains and I probably walked close to 20 miles over the 3-day weekend. I have loved walking here in the cooler weather, among the pine trees of Arizona. Yes, we have the largest deciduous pine forest in the world…
I’m A Leader In My Church. How Do I Tell My Church I’m Divorcing.
Morning friends, Can you believe we are almost at the end of August? This year has both crawled and flown by. The older I get, the faster time goes, yet this virus and fear and the uncertainty we all are struggling with seem to have also slowed time way down. Will we ever see normal again? Or will there be…
