Love Learn Lead July 27, 2017

Its seems like yesterday, we were closing out June. But here we are, almost to August. The summer, as usual, is going by too quickly. Here in Pennsylvania, we’re trying to get outside as much as we can when the humidity isn’t bad, and we’re living on smoothies made out of the fresh local fruit we’ve picked. Wherever you are, I hope you are finding moments to rest as well as seizing opportunities for adventure and fun, as they come along. For today’s Love, Learn, Lead, I share some of my favorite bread recipes, a brave quote from Brene Brown, [...]

Don’t Worry, That’s Normal

Have you ever watched a professional make pizza? They start by tossing a smooth ball of dough in the air. Then with the back of their hands, they slowly and rhythmically stretch it out into an almost perfectly round pizza crust. They make it look so easy. For some reason, when I began making bread from scratch, that pizza dough is what I envisioned, yet it did not become my reality. Early on, my goal in baking bread was to make something healthy we could use for sandwiches. So Tony surprised me with a cookbook that would teach me how [...]

Say Yes (to adventure)

Our canoe made a soft scraping sound against the sand as we arrived on the shore of our next portage. Quickly, we jumped out and lifted the canoe slightly, to drag it further onto shore. We attached our paddles to the inside, and then began to unload. Tony helped me lift my first pack onto my back. His brother, Mike, and our sister-in-law, Wendy, had arrived a few minutes before us. We could see Wendy was already loaded up, and heading down the trail. I grabbed a bucket and a folding table, and followed her. We were in the Boundary [...]

Love Learn Lead July 6, 2017

I am not sure what happened to June, but we are already closing out our first week in July! If you are living in the States, I hope you had a wonderful Fourth. And wherever you are, that your summer so far is going at a lovely, easy pace. This month on the blog we’ll be talking about courage from a few different angles—some fun, some serious. I don’t know about you, but there have been many times in my life where I’ve wished I had a little more courage, and a lot less fear. Though it may seem to [...]

Love Learn Lead May 4, 2017

If I am honest, one of things I have struggled with the most in life, is the fear of what other people think about me. On Monday, I talked about how fears like mine can often hold us back from fully being who God has created us to be. Today, for our “Love” I share a movie that speaks to identity, and for “Learn,” I share a podcast in which a creative talks about fear. And, at the end I throw in a quote about leadership. If you could relate to Monday’s post, I hope you enjoy this one. Love [...]

Fear & Freedom

Because it is such a big part of the human experience, whether we are aware of it or not, a common theme in movies is one’s search for their identity. We don’t have to look very hard for examples. In fact, it may be more difficult to just name a few, but these come to mind: Jason Bourne, in the Bourne movies, loses his memory and has to backtrack his steps to try and discover who he is—only to be faced with a pile of fake passports and the possibility that he may not like what he finds. Tris Prior [...]
