As a professional in the world of learning and development, I am often sought as a subject matter expert on personal and professional growth as well as managing relationships...and then I walk through the door and find out how much more learning I need to do at the courtesy of my husband and five-year-old daughter. Join me on my journey towards humility and accountability.
I am an incredibly selfish individual. I’m reading a book, written by Dr. Larry Crabb, about how we go about changing in a meaningful way, and one question continues to stump me.

Assumption #1: Never assume that all children look forwa ... Read more...
Just to let you know, I’m about to start singing…very loudly. Join with me if you know the song, and I know you do.
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying

Mother’s Day was full of the warm and fuzzies of having my child smother me in hugs and kisses while showering me with nine gifts and cards she had made during the past week. Nine! I promise I’m not bragging. I am saying this because I felt very loved by my little ... Read more...
