Happy New Year!!! I am so excited for 2017! I hope you are too! I challenge you to think about your “YES”. What is it? My friend asks, “What gets you up in the morning?” and my answer to that is God and “Thank you God!” but what I want to ask is, “Are you

Are you Willing?
Amen? Or no? Do we really want to say this? Do we really believe this? Because I just got moved to Austin. I say, “got moved” because that is how it feels. I feel God’s hand moving me. And my family. And my dog. And now I’m searching for a place to board the dog

More Love
I think there are seasons in life. Right now, we are in “new dog” season. Meet Gus. Here’s what I think. Gus has created more love in our family. We opened our hearts and we got more – more love, more laughter, more fun, more awareness, more time together huddled around him, new purpose, more

Lead with your heart
I love the TV show, “Bethanny Ever After”. Really…no joke, I love it, set the DVR for it each week, love her! I know you are thinking, “Wow, Sue watches a lot of reality tv.” I do it for you. It’s research. I watch. I report. I try to make sense of the current state
