Holly's Highlights: Leadership & Life

Send us a text

Now, I love a good romantic movie, but I gotta tell ya - never have I seen such a love story as my parents. Today would have been my parents' 54th wedding anniversary (my mom passed away almost 3 years ago to cancer).

Unfortunately, our society has gone from our grandparents being married 75+ years, to our parents maybe celebrating their 50th as my parents did, to my generation (Gen X) only having 48% of marriages surviving. As divorce rates are on the rise for the Millennials, it’s the new Gen Z who have exchanged marriage for simply living together.
So today, I thought we’d take a look at tips of how to have a healthy and happy marriage from someone who seems to have gotten it right - my dad. Now I wish this could be an interview with both my parents today, but I am grateful to both of them for their faithfulness to each other and God through their marriage, to where I have the safety, security, and legacy they have shown and are leaving to us kids and our kids - of what marriage was intended to look like - - -one that is selfless, team work minded, fun, full of laughter and adventure through life, supportive, forgiving, self-controlling, thriving, encouraging, serving, and basically one that stood the test of time.
Check out today's episode of Holly's Highlights podcast, How to Have a Happy and Healthy Marriage, to learn their secret.

Just as company’s and individuals can often write out a mission statement - something that helps provide basically a reason for existence, so also is it helpful for families to align the family’s purpose, goals and overall direction.

Planning a summer getaway and need a good book for the beach, or that long car or plane ride, or perhaps some reading material for lounging in the hammock at home? I'd love to share with you on Holly's Highlights podcast five must reads for personal growth/development.
Now, for our non-readers, before I lose you here - might I encourage you to just give it a try. Whether it be 10 pages a day or 10 minutes a day. I wasn't a reader eithr - believe it or not, I still wouldn't claim to be a reader. I'm more of an achiever and I like how with books you can start and finish something all while learning and growing at the same time - we'll call that a win!
But there are different ways to get engaged and learn from a good book - whether reading it, listening to it on audio, or even getting involved in a book club for more discussion and perhaps ideas of application from what you read. It helps though if you are reading a book you actually enjoy - so give yourself permission to stop reading a book you aren't liking so much. I personally mark up and write and highlight all inside the books I read - the more notes I make in a book - the more you can tell I enjoyed it.
So, let's pretend you and I are enjoying our favorite beverage together while sitting at a bistro table at the local cafe - and let's take less than fifteen minutes to chat about five must reads for personal growth and development.
