I know you have a list staring you down right now. Because I do, too: What to bring or what to buy, what to deliver and what to pick up…. This season of Thanksgiving and Christmas--with all the joys and celebration—can also bring stress that drains you dry. Especially for the average woman. 

We’re bombarded with messages—on the news, in entertainment, through social media—and there seems to be a common thread: we women must get angry or outraged. We must follow a particular line of thinking—or else ‘we’re on the wrong side’

I was recently asked to go speak to some influential women in Washington, DC.

Revival. Renewal. Resurgence. The Golden Age.… These are the words describing what’s happening in the United States of America. People are awakening. They’re remembering the “Permanent Things”.

This week many of our readers (including our team) are celebrating Holy Week, the most important events of history. Without the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, there’d be no Christianity--or the hope and life that it brings.

Whether you celebrate these or not, you’ll be fascinated and inspired by knowing a few facts.

Look at the news lately and it’s like hundreds of Chicken Little’s yelling to everyone that our financial sky is falling.  When there’s uncertainty, there’s usually worry. Worry leads to bad decisions and unnecessary anxiety. We can say NO to worry if we take time to understand the realities, make choices to control what we can, and then take another powerful ‘action’--determine to ‘Look Up and Look Back’.
