Love, it feels really good to be with you again this week. The past couple weeks have been crazy for me. Between my retreat and finishing up the edits on my book, along with loving on my clients, this chick's plate is full.

It's all good, though. It's the process I signed up for when I made the decision to live my purpose Live my calling, and take responsibility for what I see as my ministry. It feels so good to say that, and still a little weird at the same time. If you and I were talking 10 years ago, I'm certain you probably wouldn't have heard words like that come out of my mouth.
