Tug -O- War: Me or Thee?!
Today while talking to my buddy C, I knew what my new blog would be about. She was telling me about this great new camp she attended with a child she mentors.

Abundance – Master List
I was blessed to be able to lead a new small group experience at our church, www.northwoods.org, this past fall. The class was called Contagious Joy. The idea was that the more we look for joy the more it will appear in our lives. We spent a lot of time discussing gratitude. While cleaning out my desk this weekend I found some of my notes and wanted to share a bit. I recently read a story … [Read more...] about Abundance – Master List
