About this listen

 I just have to tell you how much I adore Sue Monk Kidd’s book, When the Heart Waits! I've read it four times (and counting!) because it holds the secret to one of the hardest lessons I've ever had to learn: how to simply slow down. Today I share how I’m actively working to build quiet space and find "white space" in my life. I also introduce the Magic Wand Theory. This concept challenges us to drop our logical thoughts, tap into our spirit, and dream about what is truly possible for our business and life, encouraging us to rest in possibility to listen to God’s beautiful, still, quiet voice.
