The True Cost of Building

I thought I was ready to build, plans approved, bricks delivered, confidence high. Then all my materials vanished into the foundation, and I learned an important life lesson, every great thing costs more than you expect.

The stories that didn’t make the highlight reel.

When the big wins feel few and the year feels shorter than your to-do list, remember His grace didn’t take a break. It showed up in laughter, in breath, and in the strength to try again. This is a reflection on the gifts that never made the highlight reel yet made all the difference.

Brave or Crazy?

Bravery and madness often look identical at the start. What determines the label isn’t the action itself but the outcome and the perspective of those watching. The bravest thing you can do is take the step anyway, knowing that progress rarely comes from playing it safe.

Creating Margin

A packed calendar doesn’t always mean a productive life. Creating margin is the intentional practice of leaving white space in your day to rest, think, and focus on what matters most. Block time for deep work, mark important personal commitments like school runs, and protect focus hours with “do not disturb” just as you would a board meeting. Margin is not wasted time, it is what keeps you energized, creative, and able to deliver at your best.

Surrendered Hearts And Patient Souls…The Twins Birth Story.

Next week, our twins are turning 11. Even after all  these years, I still have pinch me moments where I can not believe how everything happened. So here is the back story. This is a long post.

The Self-Made Illusion

We often celebrate the idea of being “self-made,” but is anyone truly self-made? Even Jesus, in fulfilling His divine mission, relied on a close circle of people from disciples to friends and supporters. This post unpacks the myth of individual success and highlights the power of community, support, and God-ordained relationships in our personal and professional journeys. It’s time we traded self-sufficiency for grace-filled interdependence.

Faith demands action!

Clearing The Backlog: Career Lessons From Six Tripple Eight Movie

The Six Tripple Eight is a movie based on a true story of the 6888th Batallion, an all black and all female team that played a very  important role during World War 2. If you have been here for a while, you know we are all about helping working women thrive in their personal and professional lives. The batallion’s challenges were no different from the challenges that we face in our careers and personal lives today. Here are my key career takeouts from the movie

Yet To Be Answered Prayers

Don’t let the end of a calendar year discourage you regarding your still to be answered prayers. What seems like a delay is often a divine setup. Your prayers are not forgotten, and the God who sees every tear and hears every whisper is still writing your story. Rest assured that His timing is always right. Keep believing, keep praying, and keep expecting—God is still at work.
