Have you seen the movie The Blind Side? If you haven’t, you’re about to hear a bit more dramatic version in our most recent podcast interview with my dear friend, Melanie McDaniel. Her story of empty-nest to adoption always makes me cry. The journey’s not been easy, but as a spectator of this all unfolding it’s been quite remarkable to see how one person’s love can change an entire generation. Her story of selflessness and being bold in love truly impacts my soul every time I hear the details. You HAVE to hear her story. Being bold, stepping out, and choosing love isn’t always promised to be easy. It’s not always the daisies and butterflies story, but it is always for a greater purpose. Love never returns void. I cannot wait to see the rest of her story unfold. Listen and be bold in love.

Melanie McDaniel lives on the sunny Gulf Coast with her husband and four adopted children. She spends her free time in Nashville, the city she calls home, to spend time with her dear friends and two young adult daughters. Melanie‘s greatest passions are restoring old homes and little human hearts.
