As I jogged on a treadmill, it seemed that everyone had made the same new years resolution: Get in shape! With headphones in my ears, I kept up a steady pace while watching a nearby television.

		<description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;m going to share a secret.  I get panic attacks. They often happen when I’m in a crowded store or restaurant. My heart starts pounding.  I feel lightheaded.  And then, an unexplainable fear starts to cover me. As a public speaker, I’ve learned to manage the attacks.  Before a big speech, I do relaxation <a href='http://www.nancyjosullivan.com/2012/11/19/small-mercies-panic-attacks/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

We were all friends;  women in the second half of our lives.  That Friday afternoon, we had gathered for our weekly Bible study.

This past week my daughter Rachael helped me answer that question. As we ate scones at Starbucks, Rachael began telling me about a Bible study she had recently attended; a small-group for <a href='http://www.nancyjosullivan.com/2012/10/22/small-mercies-monday-the-horse/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Though it’s been almost a decade since my marriage ended, I still find it hard to believe that God might have a new relationship for me.

		<description><![CDATA[I gave a talk at a retreat this past weekend.  As I walked into the crowded gymnasium, 42 disabled young people were waiting for me, along with their caregivers. I stood at the podium and looked around. Every participant had a mental or physical limitation.  Most of them were wearing thick glasses and hearing aids.  <a href='http://www.nancyjosullivan.com/2012/10/08/small-mercies-monday-the-retreat/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
