The Gift of Letting Go

We all have challenges in our lives.  Some happen on a daily or weekly basis and we barely notice them. Others are times that were so painful we didn’t know if we would survive.  Some of those trials happen in a moment and we spend the rest of our lives putting the pieces back together and other […]

Connecting in Community

Connecting with complete strangers when you are at a special event seems so easy when there is a common bond that brings you together.  I talk about that in my recent episode of Reviving Your Soul (Now Longing for More) called Living in Community with Others where I share a recent experience at the annual Back to the […]

Living a Life of Grace

Grace is everywhere and is so abundantly given to us.  Why is it then that we are so reluctant to give it to ourselves and others?   In this week’s podcast of Reviving Your Soul (Now Longing for More), I share that I’ve been drawn to touch on the topic for some time, but have […]

The Journey

Have you ever noticed how just when you think you have the perfect plan, it falls apart?  My most recent experience testing this was a couple of weeks ago when I flew to New Mexico to help move my son, Tye, his wife, Sabrina, and their family back to South Dakota. We had loaded their […]

Rescuing Turtles and Other Devine Interruptions

I love to travel, but after several days, I just want to be home.  I was having that feeling the other day.  I’d been on this amazing retreat with some really thoughtful, caring, and gifted women who are called to help others gain health and improve their lives.  But every stop on the trip home felt like the […]

The Search for Enough

We are all created for a purpose.  Some of us spend our whole lives looking for that purpose.  We have this longing inside of us that keeps drawing us closer and closer to it.  We strive to find it and we take one major step or reach a life goal and it feels good.  But […]

Coming Home to a Place I’d Never Been Before

I’d sung along to these words hundreds of times, “He was born in the summer of his 27 year, coming home to a place he’d never been before…” but for some reason this time riding across the wide-open prairie and reflecting on my life, it was different.  Finding a place that feels like home, even […]

Embrace Your Beauty

Recognizing our own beauty is one of the hardest things we do.  We were raised to know that as God’s children, he loves us and thinks we are beautiful.  Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, we lose that knowledge and start to believe the lie that we aren’t pretty enough, slim enough or “presentable” for the […]

Why This Podcast, Why Now?

We all have it.  That little voice that calls us to be the best we can be.  The one that urges us to step up.  To jump in.  To go for it.  To give more.  To be more.  Some head the call, but some don’t.  They may be telling themselves, “It’s too hard.” Or, “It […]

Answering God’s Call

Longing for More at the beach

We are all created with a purpose.  God had a plan for each one of our lives before we were born.  We get to chose our career, our spouse, and what we do with our days, but he gets to chose why we are here.  To discover what that purpose is, we need to seek […]
