]]> Today I’m excited to interview a couple, Lori and Steven McClure.  They are the authors of a new book, 15 Ways to Make Love Impossible. I know you are going to enjoy both of them as they share honestly and transparently about their journey.

Key Ideas:

Part 1:  Interview

  • The importance of being proactive with your activities (and what happens when you aren’t!)
  • What happens when you switch careers mid-life
  • Why difficulties are not the end of the story
  • “We learn the most when we feel weakest and most afraid”

Part 2: What I learned when I felt my weakest and most afraid

  1. Look at myself first
  2. I can let go of the outcome and trust God
  3. Just do the next right thing
