I recently received an email from one of the many podcasters/educators that I listen to as a resource for my publishing business. In the subject line, the title said something like, “How to make more (expletive) money!” My first thought was, “How tacky?” and my second thought was, “When did we get to a place…
Years ago, I wrote my first book, In the Wash: The Rona Shively Stories. At the time, I was married, and my daughter was about two years old. I was experiencing severe depression and I just didn’t know where my life was headed. The only positive things I had going for me were my daughter…
This past week was challenging. I have a lifelong habit of not being able to ask for help when I need it. In fact, I tend to avoid showing weakness whenever possible. It’s not who I want to be. It’s not something that fits my personality or beliefs. While it’s fine to be someone who…

During prayer time this morning, I received the verse, Nehemiah 7:12. I sometimes get these verses and wonder, “What does this have to do with anything I need to know right now?” The verse says, “The sons of Elam, one thousand, two-hundred, fifty-four.” Okay, and? And pages of verses before and after have the same…
I’ve always believed that it isn’t a race war we were fighting but a class war. For as long as I can remember, I’ve understood that all of the problems that we experience as a society can be traced to one thing; money. Not race. You can have money no matter what race you are,…
