I feel like love is the thing we were created for, yet it's the place we struggle the most.

People who can make you laugh can make you cry.

No one's playing records anymore, so find your favorite and frame it, then get rid of the rest - try selling or donating them.

There's nothing wrong with having a collection, but it becomes a problem when it overwhelms your space. When you're not displaying it properly, you're not enjoying it and it turns into clutter.

Celebrate your child's achievement, then rotate it when the next mini-masterpiece comes along. Then chuck the old picture. Don't worry that you're throwing away a memory. Your children will remember your praise more than they will remember the picture with macaroni and glitter glued on it.

I used to be married to a pastor, and I had a church for two years. Pastors are just men, too, with a different job description than others. We're all called to bear one another's burdens. We're all called to pray for the sick. They do it on a larger scale, but they're just a man. A lot of women don't think that. Trust me. I know.

If there is someone in your life who is not serving you or making you better, give yourself permission to move on.
