Sometimes you have to let yourself be broken
Sometimes, you have to go to your son's grave and just let yourself be broken. Sometimes you have to weep deep, wrenching, breathtaking sobs for the cancer discovered in your mom's stomach for relationships on the edge of brokenness for the deep realization that you...
How to be more efficient, proficient, productive, and just plain brilliant
Yesterday I had stuff to do - guest posts to write, videos to create, and some new ideas to wrangle into submission. So, what did I do? Well, watch the video to find out... And guess what? Sitting at the centre of the labyrinth, I created three videos, finished a...
I am woman, hear me ROAR!
Last night was my daughter's first rugby game, and let me tell you, she was FIERCE! She threw herself into the game just the way I knew she would - with her whole heart and body. She dug her feet in and pushed with all her might against the opposing team in the scrum...
Finding the answer to my longing in my own heart
There's been a longing in my heart for 14 years now. It's a longing that has often left me feeling incomplete, lonely, lost, and perhaps even flawed in some way. I have been longing for some book or workshop that would validate ME as a leader (in all my messy,...

Let go of the Ground – guest #8 – Amy Oscar
Amy Oscar is one of those people who exudes wisdom and depth, even when her words are limited to 140 characters on Twitter. I haven't known her very long, but I have already learned from her, been challenged by her, and been encouraged by her many times. Recently I...
A teacher’s final blessing
When I began teaching "Writing for Public Relations" back in November, I was determined that my students would learn not just about the proper techniques for writing press releases or communication strategies, but they would learn first and foremost what it takes to...

This morning, while everyone else was still sleeping, Maddy and I decided that we needed to get out of the house and find something green and alive (after a few dismal days of cold after a tease of Spring). So we went to the conservatory, let the moisture in the air...
