Can You Move On?
Someone asked me recently, “When did you know you could move on?” I’d never been asked this question before, so I considered my answer. I believe it was one day when a lawyer discussed the probabilities of a lawsuit.
The Busy Heart Leads to the Empty Heart
The story of Christmas is so familiar we might overlook the new heart available from a powerful Creator who became a babe in a manger.
Navigating Leadership with Divine Guidance
Faith is a word often used in media, sports and everyday life. People say, “Yes, I did it because I had faith” or “We won the game because we had faith.” But what do they have faith in?

Leadership is Not for Wimps
by Karen Porter in Leading Hearts Magazine
Leadership is not for wimps.
Nor for anyone who is trying to make a name for herself or make a fortune. Instead, being a leader involves serving and nudging others to do their best.
