Today it was easy to be content. SO easy. This morning the air was crisp and cool, the sun was bright, and the wind at bay. The boys threw rocks into the lake that literally seemed to sparkle, and as they laughed and played I sipped my coffee, hugged my sweatshirt...
Last Thursday and Friday my brain was pelted with a barrage of brilliant leadership insights. I’m still recovering from “PGLSBB” (Post Global Leadership Summit Brain Barrage). In case my smile is not clear — I LOVED it. So did my hubs. It is SO good to get away...
In part 1 we got to know Cindy Hawks and consider her insights on the topic of discipling. Buckle up friends, there's more... Having “vision” is a catchy phrase these days. It’s tough to find a podcast or leadership book that doesn’t lead with the charge to have...

If you want to see what choreographed chaos looks like, walk into the back room of a Bath and Body Works on Black Friday. It’s terrifying and beautiful at the same time. Black Friday to a consumer is like a full moon to a werewolf. The people you normally regard as...
