Over the course of my life, one thing I have learned is that the doorway to what is next doesn’t always, or even very often, swing open on its own. Those automatic doors we’ve become accustomed to in everyday life simply don’t exist when it comes to navigating a life built with intention. Most doors stay closed until we find the courage to turn the key that will open them. We’ve looked at this before, but it remains one of the most essential parts of possibility and what it means to be a ... Read More » about The Key to Dwelling in Possibility
Learning & Values: What Holds Us Steady When Life Shifts
Welcome back to our series on RESOLVE, where we are examining how we can best ensure we honor who we’re becoming and serve the purpose that’s calling to us now. Every season of growth begins with two things: what we learn and what we value. Learning shapes how we rise. Values shape where we’re headed. When these two forces meet, our resolve doesn’t just strengthen, it takes root. It becomes something living, something steady, something we can grow from. That’s why in this next segment in the ...

How to Build the Bridge Between “I Can” and “I Will”
When we move through a transition, whether in our life, our work, or the deeper spaces where identity shifts, it’s natural to wonder if we’re navigating it well. If we’re honoring who we’re becoming. If we’re serving the purpose that’s calling to us now. Last year was that time for me, and it became a sabbatical, a season of prayer and listening, and a time of recalibration. My writing gave me a place to think out loud, to explore what’s unfolding, and to clarify where I’m being led. That ... Read More » about How to Build the Bridge Between “I Can” and “I Will”
The One Word That Changes Everything
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about resolve. Not the word we toss around at the start of a new year, but the deeper kind that sits behind every promise we make. Especially the promises we make to ourselves. Resolve isn’t about willpower. It’s about trust.Brené Brown teaches that trust is built in the smallest moments — the choices we make each day that prove we can be counted on. Stephen M.R. Covey calls it the ultimate currency because when trust goes up, speed goes up, and friction goes ... Read More » about The One Word That Changes Everything
For those times when you just want to quit!
Have you ever noticed that accomplished people seem to have an uncanny ability to adapt and adjust in just the right places at just the right time? They seem to fluidly keep on keeping on without losing a step. Since I quite often have to actively convince myself to keep going on some of my goals, the apparent ease of others intrigued me. The reality is that no matter how easy it may look for others, it is, in fact, a universal challenge. The key is in how we face those times when we simply ...

What do you take with you?
Change comes for all of us, often quietly, sometimes abruptly, but always with the undeniable power to reshape our lives. Transitions, whether chosen or unexpected, have a way of nudging us forward, forcing us to reflect on what we leave behind and what we choose to carry with us. It’s in those moments—when life shifts beneath our feet—that we are given the chance to evaluate, to let go, and to step into something new. And if there’s one constant in all of this, it’s that moving forward ... Read More » about What do you take with you?
