And the winner is. . .Sally Clarkson!

Last weekend, I traveled with 4 other women to the Hearts at Home conference. I'd wanted to attend for the last six years but hadn't made it there until now. I am so very glad that I went! I had a wonderful time with the "girls" and the workshops I sat in were absolutely fabulous! I've heard some incredible speakers in the past, but there was just no topping the uplifting and encouraging talks from people like Sally Baucke, Dr. Kevin Leman, Sue Heimer, Karen Ehman, and Bill and Pam Farrel.

The best of the best though was Sally Clarkson. Sally has been a favorite speaker and author of mine for many years, yet I have never been as encouraged as I was listening to her words of encouragement last weekend. She and her husband, Clay, run Whole Heart Ministries. I long to have Sally as my personal friend and mentor. Unfortunately, I just have to soak up every little bit of her wisdom that I can get hearing her speak every few years, reading her books, looking over her website, and stalking her blog. If you ever have the opportunity to hear Sally speak, read her books, meet her, or share a meal with her, drop everything to do it! You won't be sorry, I promise.
