Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

If baking is any labor at all, it's a labor of love. A love that gets passed from generation to generation.

From now on, I pray like I mean it. No more hitting SEND over and over. It's changed my life. It has freed me from fear and opened up endless avenues for me as a writer, radio host, parent, wife, and friend. It has enhanced every relationship I'm in, starting with the most important one: my relationship with God. Real faith isn't praying without ceasing. It's believing that God heard you the first time.

Choas will come, calm will follow, and then it will start up all over again. The secret is to savor the ride.

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written.

No one really has a bad life. Not even a bad day. Just bad moments.

Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
