Words really can't express how much this weekend meant to me. Return to Rest has turned into something so sweet and special over the years! While it was only my 2nd time speaking at the retreat, it felt like I was home. The women I meet, the sunrises I get to see every morning over a frozen lake, the coffee, the worship, the Scripture study and discussion... I left w[...]

So we sent an email invitation to a handful of other women entrepreneu[...]

Make it Happen! 2015
Right now, I am currently sharing my heart with dozens of other women and men at Making Things Happen. This conference is so unique and different than any other I've been a part of, and every time I get so excited because I know I'll get something new out of it.
