Courage happens when what's in your heart is bigger than what's in your head.
It can take you over and around barriers, push you across borders, and carry you for miles when you think you might be too tired to go on.
Giving your head the microphone keeps those barriers, borders, and distances in the...
We can dream and discuss the roadtrip for years, planning to the finest detail the snacks, the pit stops, and the sites along the way...but won't actually happen until we get in the car and GO.
Crossing the bridge from "going to" to "on the move" is the hardest part. Once the car is packed and you're...
Today is Good Friday, where people all over the world remember the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. In the face of unthinkable cruelty, as He hung on the cross, he pled with the Father on behalf of the people who did this: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
How He was able to res...
There's a nasty bug going around, and 3 of our crew of 6 were down today. I would never want this for anyone (especially my own people here), but there was something I loved watching today.
My 2 girls who weren't feeling sick (14 and 6 years old) went out of their way to care for my husband, son, and...
I love watching the entrepreneurial pitch show, Shark Tank. The business owner stands before 3-4 potential investors and shares what their company is and why they're seeking investment. Each of the Sharks then takes a turn expressing either desire to invest (with an offer), or reasons why they're no...
When reality falls short of the ideal,
When our best-laid plans fall through,
When sunny forecasts turn stormy;
When deep sleep is interrupted...
We can look at these as setbacks and be discouraged, or we can open ourselves to the idea that maybe there is even more available than we thought. Ma...
A fetus develops for about 37-40 weeks before anyone sees what she actually looks like (minus some rough scans, depending on where the mother lives and what her healthcare coverage is like).
The mother knows her baby is there, without any doubt. The more time goes on, the more she feels that reality...
Peace and light are available always, as a natural result of alignment with God. No matter the circumstances, this is an available state. This is freedom. Trust, calm, creativity, flow...it's all as normal as oxygen when you're aligned this way. We need this.
It's easy to look at life like a big lon...
You can decide whether or not you'll exercise when you wake up in the morning, or you can set out your clothes + shoes before you go to bed, making the commitment before you need to. Chances of success go up significantly when the choice is made before the brain has something more compelling (like s...
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...
There's the type of education with books, pencils, notebooks, desks, and assignments/tests from an authority figure.
But that's not the only kind. (I would argue that, in many cases, it's not even the best kind.)
Does the fact that a person hasn't sat in the same classroom as another person make t...
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...
