Voice, Impact & Playing Bigger
I’m over at Huffington Post today, writing about one of the things I think we most need to do in order to heal the world. I really love this post. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words our most core beliefs. It’s hard not just to articulate them, but to even know what they [...]
This is your time. Your time to say what you have kept silent. Your time to ask your big questions without apology. Your time to shine like a blazing comet, whether they like it or not. Your time to believe what your heart tells you: that this world could be very different. Your [...]
Today I’m over at Huffington Post, writing about Why BlogHer’ll Got Me Angry. BlogHer is a a major women’s blogging network, and last week I attended and spoke at their annual conference. What is most important to say was that this post was hard for me to write. It expresses a clear point [...]
Sometimes, I get notes from readers, and the notes say something like, “I loved today’s post, but I thought you might want to know, there are a few typos.

She’s a gifted teacher and writer. Serve and Savor is her year-long exploration into how we can serve while still savoring, how serving the world and savoring the world [...]
Let’s say, you go to Target. For $29.99, you buy the new Swiffy-Swaffy, an automated device that can suck up dust through your house and polish your counter tops. Great. Great as long as it’s sucking up dust and polishing countertops. But let’s say you look over and it’s sucking up all [...]
I didn’t grow up in a rough environment. I grew up being told, almost every day, that I was special. I grew up with lots of love from my family. I got a good education and good grades. I got lots of feedback that I was intelligent, talented and could do all [...]
University of Colorado college physics course. A persistent gender gap: the girls get worse test scores than the boys, and end up with lower grades at the end of the semester.
