My lack of blogging is indicative of the emptiness I have felt recently. Three projects in one year and adopting and now a move…. I am just empty.

My job is sometimes costly and can be lonely, so it was a gift to have a few days of just flat fun.

I joined good friend, Lauren Chandler and new friend, Jenny White on a panel discussing leadership then I spent two days interviewing speakers and authors for backstage at Catalyst.

The culture of Catalyst was one of the most engaging and moving environments I have ever been in. Grateful to have been a part of it.

God used Katie Davis to push us to “Anything” I got to meet her. The highlight of Catalyst for me… ok let’s be fair…. the highlight of this decade for me.

Jefferson Bethke walked up in the green room with my book and asked me to sign it… cracking me up because I am his super fan! I mean it..

He won me over here and especially here.

Sweet Angie Smith and I have been bonding through fire recently. Thankful for her friendship. She was backstage entertaining two of Katie’s girls.

Judah Smith is a passionate mess of a pastor.

Esther Havens is one of my very favorite coffee dates in Austin- we got to hang in Dallas at the Hello Somebody dinner.

My editor and mentor, Debbie Wickwire and lifelong friend, Rachel Boling- we got to spend hours catching up and that alone fills ones soul.

Me and my new buddy Ryan Leak got to interview the leadership legend and Catlayst founder… John Maxwell.

It is well with my soul.
