I believe in process.

I sat with a friend last weekend and said, “I just need to process this out loud with you.” Nothing was wrong – things are really right between us – it is just that sometimes you need to label the process, talk about it, and appreciate it. In the case of Perfectly Unique, that is

Le Lovely Links.

Being that my mom and sister are currently in France, I thought I should speak a little French in le title. You’re welcome. [De rien.] I have a little list of links that I’ve been meaning to share with you. So I’ve gathered them all up today and bring them to you, commercial free. [I

Ask AnnieBlogs: Small group!

Sometimes people ask me stuff. And I like to answer them here on the ol’ bloggy. This does not mean that I know everything about everything. I’m just sharing my opinions and experiences. Amen. Today’s post is about one of the very best parts of my life right now: my Cross Point small group! The

Tell me something good.

That’s not really a good explanation of this post, but when Chaka Khan gets in your head, you can’t get her out. Am I right or am I right? [Oh Monday. You’re gonna be a random one. I can tell already.] I spent all day Saturday at the Killer Tribes conference and it was awesome and
