Everyone has THAT someone-that difficult person.
As I think about Father's Day quickly approaching, I am so thankful for my kind and wise father who died in 2006. I was so blessed to have a loving father.
But I know some people have a different story- a "Difficult Dad". Or some difficult relationship. Click on this link for a blog post I wrote for Women's Leadership Institute about difficult relationships.

Hope this is helpful for you in dealing with that difficult person in your life.

Best of Times, Worst of Times
As my family travels we like to sing along with Jimmy Buffet, “These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes, Nothing remains quite the same…” This time of year is filled with graduations, weddings, and new babies, Changes…”Nothing remains quite the same.”
Personally my family is about to experience a major change. (More on that in a later blog!!) Changes are often both the best of times and the worst of times.
I invite you to read a blog post I wrote for WLI:
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” So begins “A Tale of Two Cities”. Since my high schooler was reading this classic story, I decided to read it, too. I love the way Charles Dickens masterfully creates contrasts.
“It was the best of times…” It was Christmas Eve. “It was the worst of times.” It was Grandma Barbara’s last breaths on earth. My son, along with his new bride, Leah...continue reading here http://wlicuw.org/the-best-of-times-the-worst-of-times/
When I think of change, a few lines from a verse of one of Dad’s favorite hymns, “Abide with Me” comes to my mind:
“Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.”
As we go through changes, we cling to our Savior, who does not change. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrew 13:8

Energized by G.E.M.S.!
Although this is the most merriest of seasons, it can also be the most exhausting. Oh it is so busy...the shopping, baking, decorating. But for this Christmas time, here are some G.E.M.S. to energize you!
I wrote this article for WLI, Women's Leadership Institute. You can read more about WLI at http://wlicuw.org/
As I pondered the words of advice I wanted to
write for my eldest son heading off to college twelve hours away from home, I
considered the stresses he would encounter at college. What words would truly
help him?
As I pondered the words to share with my
exhausted friend who was mothering a newborn, I considered the words that would
encourage her through this exhilarating, yet exhausting, time.
As I pondered the words to express to women
leaders who want to build energy in order to serve in their churches and in
their homes, I considered the priorities for their valuable time.
The words I’ve found for all three of these
scenarios, and for many others (such as Christmas time), are real gems!
Consider marking your calendar for Gifted to Influence 2017, the WLI National Conference set for Sept. 29-Oct 1, 2017 and join us at the Hyatt Regency in Milwaukee, WI to be educated, encouraged and equipped for exemplary Christian leadership in your home, church, workplace and world.
