Typically when we introduce ourselves to someone new, we begin with our name and career. What we do is so deeply connected to our value that we often don’t even remember someone’s name upon meeting them. Instead, we remember where they work or what their job is.

But our value is not found in what we do. Our identity is more than our business cards.

I’m a writer, speaker, encourager, and lover of people. This is what I do. And while these aspects of my life are valuable, they are not what define my value. My worth is independent of my actions. This simple truth is at the center of my passion and the reason I’m sharing this space with you.
