Grateful for a week in Atlanta spent with friends and colleagues from across the country. 💛
There’s something special about stepping away from the day-to-day to connect, collaborate, and learn alongside people who care deeply about doing this work well. I always walk away from these conferences encouraged by friendships, sharpened by thoughtful conversations, and grounded again in why I do what I do.
Thankful for time together, for wise counsel, and for the opportunity to keep growing so I can serve with integrity and heart. I'm back home with a full cup and a grateful spirit.

This weekend in Ohio was extra meaningful. Time with family, celebrating my sister Katherine's grandson's birthday, and simply enjoying time together to love well and make memories. Katherine is never far from our hearts, and being together reminds me just how precious family truly is!

This past weekend was a powerful reminder of the power of presence.
I spent time hosting and participating in a deeply interactive experience with CarePortal – an organization I deeply love and admire. The experience invited us to step into the realities of poverty, not just as a concept, but as something that affects real people making real decisions every day. It opened my eyes to stories behind the statistics and pushed me to really see what poverty looks like beyond the headlines and data.
Alongside that, I was reminded that presence isn’t only needed in learning spaces, but also in personal ones – showing up for a friend, sitting with hard moments, and simply being there when words aren’t enough.
Presence changes things. It builds trust. It creates understanding. It reminds people they are not alone. I’m so grateful for the spaces and the people that shaped my heart this weekend.

I am committed to working with small business owners like you to help ensure growth, stability and preparedness. I help define your goals and secure your legacy for years to come—so you can focus on running your business.
Join me THIS Saturday!
From 9 am – 12 pm on Saturday, I’d love to invite you to be part of an experience that has the power to shift how we understand poverty and how we show up for one another as a community.
The Cost of Poverty Experience (COPE) is a 2.5-hour interactive simulation that allows participants to step into the lived realities of families navigating poverty. What makes this experience so meaningful is that it was created with individuals who have personally experienced poverty — ensuring their voices, wisdom, and leadership are central to the conversation.
COPE helps teams and individuals:
• Deepen their understanding of the human impact of poverty
• Learn how to better engage and partner with those navigating it
• Work more effectively together to create opportunities where everyone can thrive
I’m truly honored that my office at Thrivent is making this event possible, and I’m grateful for the chance to learn alongside others who care deeply about people, dignity, and lasting impact. I believe real change starts when we lead with empathy, humility, and a willingness to learn.

This past weekend, I attended the funeral of a friend’s daughter. A young woman who, in her short life, experienced more pain and loss than most of us could imagine.
And yet… she chose joy.
One thing shared during the service has stayed with me. She once said with such hope, “This is not the way I had my life planned, but this is what God had planned.” Those words caused me pause and I’m still thinking about them today. Not because they were easy or neatly packaged — but because they were honest. And brave.
She lived her life with such fullness. Loving deeply. Choosing joy even when the road was painful. Her life was a reminder that joy is not the absence of suffering, but the presence of hope.
This funeral truly was a celebration of a life that pointed others to faith, to love others, and live fully no matter the circumstances. I left with a tender heart and a quiet question for myself: How am I choosing to live today, right where God has me?

More than 40% of U.S. households struggle to afford basic necessities. Behind that number are real people and real families making incredibly difficult decisions every single day.

Every Christmas Eve, I find myself thinking about "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
In all the noise and sparkle, Linus steps into the spotlight and reminds us — so simply and so boldly — what this season is really about. No fanfare. No pressure. I just love the reminder.
Tonight, as we pause and gather, my hope is that your heart finds rest in that truth. That Christmas isn’t about getting everything done — it’s about remembering why we celebrate at all.
Wishing you a peaceful, holy, and joy-filled Christmas Eve.
May you feel the hope, love, and light of Christ near tonight.🎄

It's Christmas week! Christmas season moments like these fill my heart in the best way. 🎄
Spending time with family always grounds me and even though our grandson's Christmas program got cancelled due to weather (ugh!) getting to be with those little guys and our kids was one of those “pause and soak it in” moments. And then there’s the gift of friendship. Sharing a meal, laughter, and meaningful conversation with friends around the table is one of my favorite ways to celebrate the season.
These moments — unhurried, intentional, and full of connection — are such a blessing.
Grateful for family, friends, and the simple, sacred moments that make this season so meaningful. ❤️
