We love our work, but sometimes it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Or uninspired. Or just plain tired.

My husband and I love our home. But there are several projects we’d like to take on to update and expand our space. On our own, we feel somewhat overwhelmed with these multiple projects and priorities. We've quickly realized we have to lean on some friends and professionals who can advise us to know what we should do and when. On our own? We’ll be overwhelmed and unfocused. With outside support and encouragement? We’ll be focused, energized and more creative.

It dawned on me how similar my home situation is to how many of us can feel in our work. We love our work, but sometimes it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Or uninspired. Or just plain tired.

When I feel this way? That’s when I know I need to take some time away or get some outside perspective. I need to learn something new. I need to connect with others. I need some time to pray and worship. I need to get out!

We all need to get out from time to time! Have you made time for yourself – to refocus and refresh – recently?

I’m excited to have the opportunity to attend The Global Leadership Summit – an international simulcast event put on by Willow Creek Association for Christian leaders. Evan and I will be attending this event at Grace Community Church (in Noblesville, Ind.) on Thursday, Aug. 9 and Friday, Aug. 10 with a group of clients and friends.

And here’s some fun news: we have an extra complimentary ticket for this event to share!

Want to join us? Email to let us know and be sure to share with us why you’d love (or need!) to attend this event to be refreshed and inspired! Hope to hear from you soon!
