Have you ever heard yourself say, "We'll talk about it later. Everyone calm down. Be nice. It will all be okay," and you know it won't be okay. You walk away with anxiety and stress coursing through your nervous system. Today, Janell opens a brand-new year, brand-new season, "Stronger Every Day," and begins by tackling the difference between being a "peacekeeper" and a "peacemaker." They are worlds apart, yet so often confused as the very same thing.

In "Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You," Janell leads you, the reader, into the contemplative practice, "Lectio Divina," (a divine reading) of John 4, The Woman at the Well. As you transport back into this ancient, but true, tale, what do you notice? What do you hear? Who do you most identify with? What point-of-view is more like your point-of-view, today?

Award-winning author, LaTan Murphy, writes, "Victory demands that we get up. Lying around won't get us to our better tomorrows. It takes wild courage to fight against oppression and depression." In Part 2 of this conversation on courage, Janell and LaTan talk about what courage looks like when you are told your husband has a 99% blockage in his heart. You might be surprised by LaTan's honest account of this very difficult struggle in her life and marriage.
