Morning Friends, I hope I am home when you start to read this. Six weeks living out of a suitcase is way too long for me. I’m so happy to be back in my own nest. Our CONQUER 2018 Conference: Be Brave Grow Strong on October 12, and 13 is fast approaching. This is going […]
I’m Sinking Into Despair And I Don’t Know How To Get Out
Morning friends, I’m here in Chicago for a few weeks visiting family. I am appreciating the cooler weather but I am getting homesick. Getting out of my regular routine and surroundings is good for a bit, but I’m a regular habit girl and I can never seem to find my stuff living out of suitcase […]

Do I Have An Evil Heart?
Morning friends, I can’t believe that August is almost over and we have survived our first Arizona summer. It’s been over 100 degrees for more days than not, but it feels different when it isn’t as humid. It’s like walking into an oven, but not a sauna. Hot, but not sweaty. August has also been […]

The Glorious Unbecoming Part I [Guest Post]
Morning friends, I’m in Chicago this week helping out my parents as my dad recovers from surgery. We would appreciate your prayers for his recovery.

Don’t Leave Home Without It, Part I
Morning Friends, Thank you all for alerting me to the problem still infecting my website. I’m so sorry for the foul pop-ups you saw. After the CONQUER CONFERENCE, we discovered that my website was hacked. We immediately got tech support working on this and by Sunday morning it was removed. What we didn’t know is […]
How Do I Re-enter The Job Market After Being At Home.

I am always amazed at […]
