November 3, 2026There Is Still More in You
Last week at The Tuesday Table, we talked about recognizing what may be hidden beneath the surface in the people we serve. This week, I am turning that same reminder toward us.
Life’s changes, disappointments, and unexpected seasons can make us question what we are still capable of doing. But our gifts are not limited to one role, title, or season. Sometimes growth is simply recognizing what God has already placed within us and making room for it to grow.
This week’s reminder is simple: There is still more in you.

October 26, 2026Look Beyond the Behavior
What if the behavior we notice is not the whole story?
This week at The Tuesday Table, I am sharing a lesson from my early years of teaching—when students whom others considered “problematic” became actors, stage managers, assistant directors, and leaders in my classroom. Their success reminded me that before we correct or label someone, we must pause, listen, and look a little closer.

October 22, 2026Did the Support Fit?
Providing support and meeting a need are not always the same thing. In this week’s Tuesday Table, I invite educational leaders to consider one important question: Did the support fit the person, the need, and the moment?

October 12, 2026Before We Talk About Systems, Let’s Talk About People
When I began The Tuesday Table, I expected to write about MTSS, school culture, professional development, and leadership systems. Instead, I found myself sharing the personal experiences that shaped the way I lead. This week, I am connecting those two worlds and exploring why strong systems must begin by recognizing the people within them.

October 7, 2026Love Moves at a Different Pace
Caring for an aging loved one teaches us that love sometimes moves at a different pace. It requires patience, grace, and an appreciation for the small things that bring joy.
In this week’s Tuesday Table, I reflect on caring for my 75-year-old mama, honoring the sacrifices my sisters and their families have made throughout her journey, and recognizing the quiet acts of love shared by caregivers every day.

September 29, 2026Don’t Despise Small Beginnings
Sometimes we become so focused on the grand opportunity that we overlook the great experiences unfolding along the way. This week at The Tuesday Table, I reflect on Zechariah 4:10 and why we should never underestimate a small beginning—or the difference it may make in someone else’s life

September 23, 2026A Reminder I Needed
After attending a women’s conference this weekend, I came home feeling refreshed, renewed, and reminded of something I needed to hear again: turn it over to God and trust Him to work it out. In this week’s Tuesday Table, I share an honest reflection about worry, seeking God’s guidance in all things, and remembering that we do not have to carry everything alone.

September 15, 2026I’m starting again—and I’m not ashamed to say it.
Starting again is not always easy, especially when life does not go according to plan. In this week’s Tuesday Table, I share why I am no longer ashamed to admit that I am starting again—and how my faith reminds me that God still has purpose for my life.

September 9, 2026Check on the Person Who Always Shows Up
We often assume dependable people are fine because they continue to show up. This week at The Tuesday Table, Kim M. Waller invites us to look beyond the smile, see the person behind the role, and ask one honest question: “How are you—really?”

September 2, 2026Why Purpose Requires Courage
Sometimes purpose requires us to move before we understand the entire plan. After years of building a life in Illinois, several painful losses and a quiet word from God led me back home to Michigan. What I thought was simply a move to be closer to my mama became part of a much greater purpose.
