Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

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

If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

Sometimes you have to disconnect to stay connected. Remember the old days when you had eye contact during a conversation? When everyone wasn't looking down at a device in their hands? We've become so focused on that tiny screen that we forget the big picture, the people right in front of us.

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

When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

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.
