Lead May 24, 2018

This month, I want us to look at some very important aspects of leadership—including why leaders fail. But I also want to try and equip you with some lessons I have learned over the years, about being a leader. For this reason, every Thursday this month, I will share one of my leadership tips. If you are just beginning your leadership journey, it is my hope that these will give you some practical help in fully embracing your current role. Or, if you’ve been leading for a while that they will assist you as you begin empowering others to lead. [...]

This month, I want to help equip you with some lessons I have learned over the years, about being a leader. For this reason, every Thursday in May, I will share one of my leadership tips. If you are just beginning your leadership journey, it is my hope that these will give you some practical help in fully embracing your current role. Or, if you’ve been leading for a while that they will assist you as you begin empowering others to lead.

Lead May 3, 2018

Often, when we start out in our careers, we don’t think about the leadership that will be involved. Instead we focus so much on the reason we first went into our profession, like serving people, creating things, or even the money. We don’t realize how much of our role will require leading those around us.  Or, perhaps we started in a job with very few leadership responsibilities, but now we’re looking to make a change. And the new path we are considering requires leading others—maybe even more than we ever saw ourselves doing. Either way, at some point in our [...]

Whenever I am in a hard season, and I am facing a daunting obstacle, I feel like I go into gamer mode. Now, I don’t play video games, so I don’t know that this metaphor is fully accurate, but in these times, I zone in. I focus all my energies around a certain problem and try to come up with the best plan of attack. I find myself looking for the right button to pulverize the issue stressing me out. Only, there’s no remote in life that does that. Friends, we have just about made it through the gloomier month [...]

Hello Friends. We have made it past the middle of April. Hopefully, wherever you are, there are promising signs of spring—and not more rain than necessary. This weekend, Tony and I are gearing up for a trip to the Finger Lakes, in New York, with our closest friends. A few snow storms earlier this month, made winter feel that much longer and we are ready to get out of town. We are praying for good weather, but know that whatever we get we are going to make the most of the weekend. I hope that no matter your weekend plans, [...]

Learning, It’s Up To You

You know those times when someone older and wiser, gets up on their soap box, then begins their latest diatribe with the words: “There are two kinds of people in this world…” It’s always bothered me. Mostly because I find humanity to be extremely eclectic and varied. But also because to break up people into two camps seems very narrow-minded. Only, today—that is what I am going to do. Not because I think there really are only two kinds of people, but rather because in life, there are choices all of us have where there are only two options. An [...]

Love Learn Lead April 5, 2018

It seems almost unfair that the grey skies of winter often give way to the rainy days of spring, before the sun finally warms our days more consistently. Conversely, last week, I saw a friend who lives in the desert out west. She told me that other than a few weeks a year, every day is sunny where she lives. And I wondered, would I miss the rain, if I lived in the desert? Important things happen in the rainy, in between months. Here in the Northeast, it is when the first plants of the season begin to take root. [...]

Love On April Fools

B&B hosts tell the best stories. If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, or if you follow my Instagram, you know I love to travel. For me and Tony, it’s probably our favorite thing to do together. Early in our marriage, we discovered we really enjoy staying at Bed and Breakfasts. AirB&B or traditional B&B’s, we are in. And on our travels, we’ve had some incredible hosts. One of our favorite’s, we’ll call her “V,” we met in Northern Ireland. We stayed in her charming B&B for a few days, while checking out Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, and [...]

Love: Storytellers I Love

Art has a way of bringing truth in through the backdoor. In other words, if I was to tell you something uncomfortable, yet true, I could say it to your face. Say the words as clearly as can be, and you could choose to ignore me. Or I could write my message in big letters on cardboard, stand on the corner outside your house, and yell at you as you passed by. Chances are though, it would only shut you down. But if I painted you a picture. Sang you a song. Told you a story. Rather than reason with [...]
