If someone were to ask you to narrow down, what you’re about, can you do it? Have you taken the time to define yourself? That’s what I want us to spend time on today. Especially here at the first of the year, as we are looking at the year ahead.

Finding Love in the Second Half of Life
We all hope that hearing our stories will encourage many women who might be looking for love in the second half of life—even if they don’t know it! Our stories are all different, but I think we all agree that we never imagined we’d have the life we have now.
Foundational Elements of Love
Often, we use the word “love” loosely. We tie “love” to a certain food, a coffee brand, a song, a clothing line, and many other things. Then, we use the same word when we refer to people. But love is deeper than things, attraction, or passion. Love is based on foundational elements that allow love…

What Row Are You In?
Last Sunday in church I sat in the general area where I typically sit. I looked two rows over where I spotted a friend of mine and waved hello. A few moments later two more ladies slid into the seats next to my friend, and I thought to myself, “That’s nice that they have each…
Beyond a Year of Firsts
I wouldn’t be truthful if I said last year was easy, because it wasn’t. Every “first” was a hurdle, each solo experience bittersweet. For months, I felt as if a dense fog covered me as I waded through shock and struggled to move forward. Small tasks felt huge.
Unlocking the Secrets to Resolutions That Actually Work
Reflect over your year and create your own list of successes, both big and small. This step of writing down your accomplishments is a confidence builder. It puts on paper the things you’re most proud of. We can get so caught up in the things that didn’t go well. Our setbacks, our failures and focus on those things.
