I talked about the experience a bit in Episode 2 before I gave my talk, but I wanted to give more information on how I was invited and selected to be a TEDx speaker, how I prepared for my talk, and how you might be able to participate in a TEDx event – as a speaker or as a guest. Here are three keys to preparing and giving a TEDx talk: * Believe you have an idea worth spreading. * Seek the opportunity, or at...

Guess who’s back?! This summer has been one of the busiest I’ve had in a long time, but it has been full of learning, building relationships, pushing myself beyond my comfort zone, and more humidity than I care for. In this episode,

It’s so easy in these days of snaps, tweets, and likes to live day to day without much serious thought to how we are living. I recently revisited Gretchen Rubin’s book, The Happiness Project, and was inspired by Gretchen’s purposeful approach to happiness. She made a list of personal “commandments,” but I decided to write out a list of life principles instead: things I want to keep in mind and ground me as move through this phase of my life. Today’s episode is a quick recap of those principles w...

The power of words is something we often underestimate and seldom take advantage. That’s my main topic on this episode and I’m thankful that you’ve joined me. You can make an incredible difference, in your own life and in the lives of others by paying closer attention to the words you speak. I was recently inspired by a sermon that focused on the words individuals spoke to themselves in response to God’s activity in their lives. I wanted to share how I’m applying what I learned to my own life an...

I am back from vacation and feel like I missed so much! Thankfully, my plane landed in time for me to see Chris Rock’s opening monologue at this year’s 88th Academy Awards. And yeah, it was about as awkward as I expected it to be. He made some good points, but he brought out Stacey Dash and I don’t know that I’m sophisticated enough to understand that joke. But back to vacation. Going away makes me extra reflective, so this week, I share 5 things I realized about traveling and vacation, while I...

This week has been just...a lot. In this second Just My Thoughts episode, I discuss the government and public health crisis happening in Flint; the several seats Stacey Dash should have; Sam Smith's brush with racism; Macklemore's new song, White Privilege II; and how we talk about race, or don't, in this country.

If you are in your mid-twenties or older, there is a good chance that your Facebook and Instagram feeds have lots of pictures and stories related to engagements, weddings, pregnancy, already born babies, and growing children.
