For two decades, she wrote charts, comforted families, and brought beside-manner to her patients.

And, over time, she developed the skills that would help her not only function, but also excel in the health care field.

As her kids were moving on with her lives, she knew that now was the time for her to move on with hers.

Ever since she was a little girl, she dreamed of being on the big screen and making movies that had both meaning and significance.

She finished up her coaching near the first of the year and from that point on, jumped fully into her plan. In her heart and mind, it was now or never.

I got an email from her over the weekend.

Excitedly, she mentioned that she reached out to a former teacher and he quickly connected her to a group working on a video project.

The team picked her up and she started immediately doing voice over work for a documentary.

Today’s reflection: What teacher comes to mind when you think back to your schooling? Are you willing to reach out to them just to say “hi”?

Still not sure where you stand? Hear Jacque tell her story.

January 23, 2012

While it’s not always in the tidiest and neatest of packages, passions can be birthed from unlikely places. Losing her mother to breast cancer at age nine roused a passion in her that is more alive and vibrant than ever before; a passion to bring healing and restoration through alternative health practices. And, as she [...]

Today’s reflection – Won’t you just give me a sign?

January 17, 2012

There’s nothing like a good sermon to stimulate a flurry of ideas and viewpoints. As happens often on Sunday, our pastor challenged the congregation with a refreshing perspective designed to bring hope and encouragement.

December 23, 2011

37 years ago, while on a hiking expedition, I struggled to regain my balance and, having failed that, fell thirty-plus feet into a rocky ditch.

Today’s reflection – Could they have been wrong?

December 20, 2011

I was listening to a podcast recently and the listener mentioned, that while she was an “introvert”, she was also outgoing, social, and liked to be around people. While it was just an email the host was reading and responding to, you could almost sense, (in-between the lines) the frustration the woman was feeling, as [...]

Nurses – Who cares for the caregiver?

December 14, 2011

Caring, compassionate, and a desire to connect- these are gifts of the heart that a nurse brings to her patients every day. They understand, true health care goes beyond medical procedures; they tirelessly give everything they have. But who cares for the caregiver? Nurses are nurturers by nature and the responsibility of patient care coupled [...]
