Inspired by Mike’s post Why Sitting is Killing You, this week I’ve been experimenting with my own version of a standing desk. Since giving up my downstairs office for a teenage bedroom, and truth be told, long before then, I’ve all but abandoned using my desk, so I figured it was probably a good time [...]
Would you please vote for Lynchburg 8/2/11 and 8/3/11 in the Bark for Your Park Dog Park contest? (You don’t have to live in Lynchburg to vote for our city. You can live in Hawaii or California or even down under. There are two ways to vote: Visit the Lynchburg’s Bark for Your Park entry [...]
I’m a long-time fan of Zappos for numerous reasons. They’re customer focused. They’re fun! But it wasn’t until I read Enchantment by Guy Kawasaki that I realized Zappos is also trustworthy. According to Kawasaki, “Zappos is built on trust – two-way trust, actually.” Customers trust Zappos’ money-back guarantee with free shipping (both ways) and Zappos [...]
Motherhood should come with 20/20 vision, with the ability to know now what I didn’t know then. Hindsight. Today Ann talked about her kids growing so fast. Who knew?

I LOVE making new connections and helping others make connections as well, sort of like Steve Martin’s “I get paid for doing this” gig. When I worked at the Lynchburg Regional [...]
I invited friends to join me on the Simplify Journey, but I have to tell you, I was more than a bit nervous. Suddenly I was in high school again, or worse, in middle school. I wasn’t the popular kid. I invited all the cool kids to come to a party. I decorated the house, [...]
Yes, even though today is January 5th, it’s Christmas Eve in our house. When you’re in a blended family and children spend a portion of their holidays with other parents in other homes (whether they live across the city or 600 miles away), you celebrate when you’re all together. For us, that’s this week. Our [...]
I love this song by Brandon Heath but hadn’t seen this video until I came across it on Amy Sullivan’s blog. Just Start. What about you? When has the Holy Spirit impressed upon you to do something? How did you handle that prompting? A Prayer Holy Spirit, as you speak to the depths of our [...]
