It's called For Her, and it has a wide variety of articles each week about subjects we women care about: friendship, culture, spirituality, marriage, fashion, parenting, and more. The first article I... Continue reading

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so I thought I'd make a few videos about my own experiences with depression. (They're not edited to perfection, but giving up on perfection was part of my healing process.) Today I'm sharing the first part of my personal journey. People see me smiling and ...

It does seem like a lifetime ago, doesn't it, Marcus? And yet it doesn't seem that long ago. Weird how time compresses like that.
Thanks for your encouragement. That means so much! The High Calling was a part of all that--helping me stretch and grow, to not be afraid of tough topics and serious editing. Carey and I hope to see you soon, too.
Blessings, friend--to you, the Foundation, and your sweet family.

A Sad Goodbye--and New Beginnings
“Hi, I’m Dena,” I said to a dark-haired man, about my age, sitting down the row from me. We were both waiting for the “newbies” meeting at Mount Hermon Writer’s Conference to begin. “I’m Marcus,” he replied, and as we chatted about poetry (his passion) and non-fiction (mine), we discovered that...
AMEN and thank you, Tim. I was so glad to meet you, as well. And yes--we will stay friends forever. :)

Jeanne--yes. I feel God pressing me to press on, not look back anymore. Since we found out the news in late spring, it's been hard to not grieve and feel bad. But I know God works all things for His will and purposes, so I need to not get stuck--to actively celebrate what He has done and look forward to what He will do. Thanks for all your contributions; I loved working with you and helping share your words with a wider audience.
