Your #happiness doesn't depend on #money... ...or does it? This week's Mind Uncensored unwraps a new study that found income DOES influence how happy you are. But don't misinterpret that to mean you need a bunch of cash for a good…

If Twitter's dumpster fire reinforced anything for me, it's the importance of having your own author website you can use to build your own email list. In this video, I emphasize why it matters. #WritingCommunity #Author #Publishing #Writing…

And this is why I just scheduled a post on the importance of having your own website as a writer or other creator. #SocialMedia platforms are ridiculously fickle and don't allow creators to keep their following or content if they fold (or, as in this…

The Importance of Having an Author Website

Author websites are heavy hitters even though writers can publish on dozens of platforms online. In this video, I connect author websites to the ability to build a solid email list and point out how fickle other platforms can be.

Me, as my daughter does a nice and rubs my sore neck this morning: Can you feel the yuck? I can feel the yuck. Daughter: Your neck feels like a neck with backstory. She's not the daughter of a #writer...at all...or anything... #WritingCommunity…

This quote comes from a press release about Jim Morgan joining the Leighton Ford Ministries board. There are thousands of books on good #leadership. Morgan boils it down to a single sentence. AND HE'S RIGHT. People will always respond to the way…

Thoughts? All I can say is, this is why scripture says not to seek #money and the things of the world. Here's proof of how easily it passes away. If you'd like some verses to study about money, these are good: Proverbs 24:4-5 Hebrews…

I'mma be critical for a sec. You don't need to be "more productive" as a #WorkingMom--that glorifies output and implies value is connected to it. Just be you and do your best. It's hella hard and starting the day right is like 1% of it. That said, I…

New Study: Yes, Money Really Does Buy Happiness (But There's a Catch)

You know that old saying that money can't buy happiness? It's...um...wrong, apparently. A new study by Matthew Killingsworth, Daniel Kahneman, and Barbara Mellers revisited a previous influential 2010 study by Kahneman and Angus Deaton. The 2010…

People seem to agree that integrity is a good thing. Yet, it's a rare bird. I think that's just because there's so much fear in our culture. Swimming in the current of trends can feel self-protective, because you get approval or even money. But if…

Professionals are super quick to put their stamp on everything they make. Like, EVERYTHING. What makes you think God doesn't look at you and say, "Yep. Totally mine."? He does, just so you know. There are two significant aspects to this. The first…
