Take on Courage

Last year, my wife snapped a quick picture on her phone that has stood out over and over in my mind. I want to share that moment with you and I hope it encourages you to dream bigger.  You have your hobbies and I have one of mine – doing Ironman races. “Why do you…

Your Quarantine Cover Song

What if someone made your life into a musical? Over these past 11 weeks, what would be the theme song? Would it be “Hard knock life” from Annie, “You’ll Be Back” from Hamilton, or “The Hills are Alive” from the Sound of Music?  If you had an opportunity to perform a remake of any famous…

Bucket Schmucket List

You would never believe it. I was totally caught off guard the other day… watching the Sonic the Hedgehog movie (with my kids, of course).  In what seemed like a kids movie with cheap laughs, came a more meaningful scene and the conversation of having a Bucket List. Intentionally giving thought to the things you…

A Typical Day and Not-So-Average Napkin

One summer afternoon, four hungry guys went out to lunch to discuss the finishing touches on a movie they had been working on. Near the end of the lunch, one of them asked, “what are we going to work on next after we finish this movie’? This might have been the most important question ever…

Putting Together the Puzzle Pieces of Life

Have you ever experienced being in the “puzzle zone?” When you start a jigsaw puzzle and get totally sucked into it that you lose all track of time? Like you look up and are shocked that an hour or two have slipped by?  My kids go in and out of spurts putting together puzzles. Last…

(see what we did there?)  Over the last 4 weeks our team has developed 5 unique digital leadership opportunities for students. All…

Is It A Year Of Wonder?

The title of this blog was not meant to be clickbait. I’m sure many of you are thinking that 2020 may go down as a year that we would just rather soon forget. I find this quite interesting considering that many of us were very optimistic heading into the new year 2020. At Loveworks, we…

Never Waste a Crisis

Did you know studies show that children ask close to 300 questions per day? We have three kiddos under the age of 10 so I am going to round up and guess that I have heard “dad, can you…. Or “dad, what is….” about 1,000 times a day this week since we are sheltered in…

Want to LINK up with Loveworks?

We may be under a shelter-in-place but our leadership can be alive and thriving during this season.  Last week when the walls felt like they were closing in, our staff and partners scrambled together and a beautiful plan was born: Loveworks At-Home Leadership digital programming. With the help of NextThought and various community partners and…
