Read MoreSurprisingly Satisfied – Podcast
Priscilla Shirer | Feb 11, 2014Several years ago I had so much fun writing a book called “The Resolution For Women“. Honestly, it was one of the most challenging projects I’ve ever undertaken. It stretched me in every way you can imagine. Since it covered such a wide range of topics, I had to think through concepts and ideas I’d […]
Read MoreUnfinished Business
Nicole Staples | Feb 09, 2014I love Pinterest. I really do. I jokingly call it the ‘online abyss’ because one pin leads you to another pin, which easily leads you to another pin, which ultimately leads you to several hours of pinning crafts, recipes and other great ideas! I can easily get lost in that world. Easily! I never realized […]
Read MoreGuest Blogger: Amena Brown Owen | The Mystery and Honesty of Marriage
Amena Brown Owen | Feb 06, 2014A poet. A speaker. An author. Amena Brown does it all. Her words are rich and robust – bursting at the seams with wisdom and eye-opening insight. Every time she takes a platform, audiences sit forward in their seats, riveted by her presentations. That’s what I did the first time I heard her. This woman […]
Read MoreHello Fabulous You!
Priscilla Shirer | Feb 03, 2014Seeing YOU is a treat for me! Like, for real. If I had it my way, the segment of our women’s ministry that actually requires me to BE WITH WOMEN would cover 100% of our activities. But, our reality is much different. Those times when I get to travel to where you are and get […]

Jan Greenwood | Jan 30, 2014Jan Greenwood has been a breath of fresh air in my life. Knowing her has brightened up my heart in a way I didn’t even know it needed. Her depth of insight, stability of character and endearing personality cause anyone who crosses her path to lean into her friendship and mentoring. As a pastor of […]
Read MoreNot of this World
Nicole Staples | Jan 28, 2014Yesterday, I read a blog post by Mandisa that really struck a chord. In her blog she talked about why she did not attend the Grammy awards the night before. She was bare and transparent when mentioning her several reasons why. For one, she didn’t want to deliberately place herself in an environment that is […]

Read MoreMy Word for the Year
Nicole Staples | Jan 22, 2014Every year since I was about 15 I’d make a list of new year’s resolutions. And every year since I was about 15 I’d break some, if not most, of those resolutions. I wasn’t the best at keeping them and that’s something that has followed me to this day. Last year I decided to try […]
Read MoreThe Tyranny of the Urgent
Priscilla Shirer | Jan 19, 2014Cleaned out the top drawer of my night stand this weekend. Ran across a favorite ponytail holder, writing pen and gift card to a local boutique that I thought I’d lost long ago. It was just like Christmas all over again. And I also found this: It’s a tiny little pamphlet given to me by […]
