I sang a duet in church with a friend on Sunday, and I have to be honest. Listening back to the recording, I thought she did great -- but I was a little disappointed in myself. I felt totally confident and comfortable when we rehearsed, but when the time came to sing it for the congregation I held b...
I had a prospective client consultation yesterday, during which she shared that she actually found me through... wait for it... ChatGPT. (!!?) It blew my mind!
I didn't have a ChatGPT marketing strategy; heck, I've barely had any kind of marketing strategy for my web design business, other than word...
We had the most beautiful performance during church yesterday, from a singer whose voice seemed to escort my spirit to another realm. It was a gift.
I also enjoyed a visit from a friend I hadn't seen or really spoken with in over 5 years, but the instant she smiled and gave me a hug it felt like only...
If you're on the dance floor and you want to dance a slow song, you have options:
- Stand there and hope someone asks you
- Leave the room and prevent possible heartbreak altogether
- Find someone and ask them.
Strategy #1 works sometimes.
Strategy #2 works every time, but toward a totally differe...
I'm working on a project right now that's requiring a lot of faith. It's the heaviest lift (motherhood aside) I've done so far, which is also bringing some stunning miracles to witness. Because of the heavy lifting, sometimes my brain and my spirit get tired and I hear thoughts like, "Who do you thi...
Determination is the fuel that takes us from the unknown into possibility, and children seem to have it in concentrated form (the metaphorical equivalent of rocket fuel).
Watching our kids start with a desire then go for it with determination is absolutely inspiring. Whether it's learning to ride a ...
Hide and Seek is one of the favorite games at our house. The person who is "it" waits downstairs, counts to 30, and then yells at the top of their lungs, "READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!" They then hunt the corners and closets around the house, looking for the rest of the family (everyone dreads being "i...
Our 6-year old daughter spent hours this weekend making "coloring books" (outline drawings on copy paper, bound by a row of staples) to sell door-to-door to neighbors and friends. She was so full of enthusiasm about it, I couldn't help but smile watching her.
She was working on some more books this ...
One of my favorite movies of all time is My Fair Lady, starring Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle. I've remember watching it with my mom as a little girl, singing and dancing along to "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?". And that stunning scene of her in the dress at the top of the steps before the ball....🤩 ...
It's impossible for a newborn to fly a plane.
It's impossible for a kindergartener to discover a cure for disease.
It's impossible for a high school junior to run for President.
Impossible is based on the present moment and existing resources. With design, focus, time, and connections -- magnifi...
I'm focusing this weekend on some really powerful inputs, by tuning into our church's semi-annual conference (2 full days of beautifully uplifting talks and music focused on the Savior). So many rich lessons about Jesus Christ and how we can better follow His example. It's been a beautiful experienc...
Of course it didn't go perfectly. How many times had you done it before this?
It's easy to feel disappointed in ourselves when we fall short of the level of excellence we expect. Holding ourselves to a high standard is a great way to grow, but we also have to be reasonable.
Capacity is expandable, bu...
