flow proactive god-never-blinks
Over prepare, then go with the flow.
inspirational two nails
...there were two kinds of women: those who wear nail polish and those who don't. Which do you prefer?...
jobs thinking offering
I think of her every time I judge myself or someone else too harshly. How do we really know the worth of our work? It's not our job to judge the worth of what we offer the world, but to keep offering it regardless. You might never know the true worth of your efforts. Or it could simply be too soon to tell.
thinking people journalism
As much as the Pulitzer is the hallmark of journalism, I think what I love the most is when somebody says they took my column and it's in their wallet. I have had people open their wallet and show me a corner of a column.
attitude situation god-never-blinks
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
horse pain loneliness
Some days, 24 hours is too much to stay put in, so I take the day hour by hour, moment by moment. I break the task, the challenge, the fear into small, bite-size pieces. I can handle a piece of fear, depression, anger, pain, sadness, loneliness, illness. I actually put my hands up to my face, one next to each eye, like blinders on a horse.
prayer real believe
From now on, I pray like I mean it. No more hitting SEND over and over. It's changed my life. It has freed me from fear and opened up endless avenues for me as a writer, radio host, parent, wife, and friend. It has enhanced every relationship I'm in, starting with the most important one: my relationship with God. Real faith isn't praying without ceasing. It's believing that God heard you the first time.
learning winning agree-to-disagree
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
book giving adults
I usually give a book 40 pages. If it doesn't grab me by then, adios. With young adult books, you can usually tell by Page 4 if it's worth the time. The author establishes the conflict early, sometimes in the first sentence. The themes of hope, family, friendship and overcoming hardship appeal to most everyone.
home giving dollars
I say we all take the pledge and stay home. Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for what you have, not to save a few dollars to get more.
inspiration thinking laughing
There's so much living to be squeeze into the cracks of one little day. You can make someone laugh, smile, hope, sing, think.
party life-is-too-short long
Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
secret calm
Choas will come, calm will follow, and then it will start up all over again. The secret is to savor the ride.
lasts baking months
Baking happens with ingredients that last for months and come to life inside a warm oven. Baking is slow and leisurely.
