I Can’t Believe I ADHD-OD’d Again!
It took me 52 years—over 5 decades—to understand why. Why I got in trouble as a kid for not sitting still. Why no planner, app, or color-coded system ever stuck. Then somebody finally gave me the right words: neurodivergent. ADHD. Not a character flaw. A different wiring—not broken, just different...
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: Maybe You’re Asking All the Wrong Questions
Who, what, when, where, why, how—the bones of every good story. I built a whole career on asking those questions about other people. What I didn't realize, until much later than I'd like to admit, is that I'd had them backward when it came to myself...

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: When God Repeats Himself
This month’s cover story isn’t just a profile. It’s just another whispered answer. An answer that hit me right where the Father has been reaching into me all along‚ in the many ways He shares His heart and direction with His children...
Sacred Lessons from a Divine Rule-Breaker (An Award-Winning Editor’s Guide to Getting into Good Trouble)
Here’s the thing: I almost gave up. Not because I didn’t know what I wanted to say, but because I got stuck between wanting to be teachable and knowing I had a mission that didn’t fit the template.

I had to let the discomfort do its work.

Remember Eeyore? That gloomy donkey convinced everything was conspiring against him? I’m seeing his “everything’s raining on my parade” attitude showing up everywhere—life is constantly holding us down, holding us back. But here’s the hard truth: we create the atmosphere and we bring it with us.
The Symphony and the Sears Wishbook of Dreams: (7 Ways to Unwrap the Presents in His Prescence)
Here’s what I’ve been thinking about—there is a present of discovery as we sink into God’s presence every day. You hear that? Present. Presence. We get to unwrap His presents—these gifts He’s giving us—in His presence. Every single day. But do we? Do we wait for them? Do we see them? Do we have that anticipation, that excitement we had as kids circling things in the Sears catalog? Or have we just ... lost the wonder?
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: Getting Beyond Pintrest Christmas
Here’s the thing about those Pinterest quotes, those “Choose Joy This Christmas” signs—when you’re at your lowest, they just bounce off you. They’re flat. One-dimensional words that don’t mean anything when you’re suffocating inside your own head while everyone else is singing carols.
Why I’m Putting My Heart on “Do Not Disturb” (And You Should Too)
We’re all living like emotional sponges right now, soaking up everyone’s opinion, everyone’s drama, everyone’s hot take on literally everything. And as someone who needs medication just to slow my brain down enough to think instead of react, let me tell you: this is not sustainable. Are you feeling it, too?
