People often search for both an easy definition of success — and an easy way to achieve success. What I like about today’s quote is it’s an easy definition of success — and a reality check on how you become successful. If there’s one thing I’ve learned along the writing road — and believe me, I’ve learned a lot more than …
I like hanging around people who make me think. And that’s one of the reasons I like my friend Rachel Hauck. She makes me think. Big thoughts. Braver thoughts. Bolder thoughts. She makes me open my eyes wider and look for God, and all the while it’s like she’s whispering in my ear, “He’s right there, Beth. Can’t you see …
“God had sent her what she’d been too afraid to ask for.” ~ Small-Town Bachelor by Jill Kemerer Do you ever get excited about something only to chastise yourself that it’s impossible? It seems so far out of your reach, you won’t even consider it.We think we don’t deserve wonderful surprises, so we tuck the dream away. We don’t …
Have you looked in the mirror today? Who — or what — was staring back at you? Stop. Don’t just rush past that last question. It’s the entire point of today’s post. Close your eyes for a minute and think: Who — or what — are you using as a mirror? Mirrors. They’re all about approval. Does my hair …

Go ahead it, prove it. How many times have you felt the weight of those words? Either someone else verbally threw them at you — or you taunted yourself with them. Prove it. Prove it is never an encouragement. Prove it is never said in an “I know you can do it, but go ahead anyway” tone. Nope. Doubt is woven …
It’s Monday … the beginning of a new week. Are you planning on thinking at all this week? Looking ahead at my week, there’s going to be a whole lof of thinking going on. And I love the challenge put forth in “The Donald’s” quote: I might as well Think Big. Want to join me? At first read, …
It’s been a week … You know. One of those weeks where you do the work. And sometimes you’re happy with your efforts … and sometimes you’re not. One of those weeks where you rest … and sometimes you’re up earlier — or later — and you’re tired. Just dragging through the day. One of those weeks where things go according …
I like change a whole lot better than I used to. I guess growing up does that to you. I’m not who I used to be — and I’m thankful. And, if I have anything to say or do about it, I won’t be the same person a year from now. I clung to who I was for a long, long …
