  • Remove Unforgiveness: (Part 7) How to Get it Done

    August 30th, 2020

    Reader, this is the last part of the series. You may not read beyond this sentence, but I hope you will. No doubt, removing unforgiveness requires taking a risk you may not be willing to take. (more…)

  • Remove Unforgiveness: the sound of your voice

    July 27th, 2020

    Your words are truly powerful.  You have the ability to speak life or death–negativity– into your life and situation with your voice. This is considered true in pretty much every religious context, but has also been acknowledged in psychology and scientific contexts as well. What we speak out of our mouths matters. (more…)

  • Remove Unforgiveness: The Enemy (Part 5)

    July 15th, 2020

    Have you ever been past anger? I mean—virulently and completely livid with someone for something they did?

  • And Then You’re Holding a Copy of Your First Book

    October 22nd, 2018

    It happens to all of us. Some mornings I wake and immediately shake my head. It’s because before I begin the day, I’m already physically or emotionally exhausted, and I wonder how I’ll do it. How will I get through my to-do list when I already feel so tired and overwhelmed?  (more…)

  • Exercise is to Writing as Writing is to Exercise

    August 23rd, 2018
