I want to write important things, wise things, things people will be interested in reading. And so I am stuck. Do I have anything to say? Well, anything anybody would want to listen to?

I think so, and I think not.

I have an incredible marriage. I have incredible children. I have an incredible business. I have an incredible friend — ok, maybe I am not an incredible friend, I don’t know. But then I think I am. I am here, but don’t need to engage. I have pushed, supported, listened. I have brought God into our relationship.

And the same as in all of my relationships — I am not here to control, but to guide, when needed. Because it isn’t necessarily my job to guide. Or to express my opinions. I am here to be obedient to God when he tells me to do something. And the rest is up to him. In my marriage. With my clients. With my employees. With my children. With my family. With the school board.

A friend taught me one of the best lessons of my life. She said — I cherish the times we shared, but if I never see you again, that is not a problem. And isn’t that how life should be lived. I will be content in whatever God brings.

God gave, God took away. God gave. What right do I have to judge what God is doing in my life.
