Laurie Delk - author, speaker, coach, trainer

Laurie's life journey is a testament to unwavering faith, entrepreneurial spirit, and the transformative power of resilience. Rooted in a lifelong foundation of Christian values, instilled from her upbringing and a pivotal move from Texas to Middle Tennessee in 1986, Laurie embarked on a path marked by both professional achievement and personal devotion.

In 1993, driven by a profound desire to nurture her growing family, Laurie made a courageous decision to transition from a decade-long, successful career as an accountant at a Fortune 500 company. This pivotal moment, coinciding with her husband's aspiration to pursue his calling in law enforcement, became a catalyst for a life dedicated to purpose and service. Through prayerful consideration, they embraced both paths, demonstrating a commitment to faith-led action.

God has uniquely privileged Laurie to serve Him in numerous capacities over the past few decades. Her entrepreneurial journey began with the inception of her web & graphics, branding, marketing, and design company. Recognizing her talents as gifts to be shared, she pledged to utilize her skills for divine purpose. This commitment manifested in the creation of over a thousand websites, marketing materials, training platforms, and courses for pastors, churches, evangelists, missionaries, colleges, and a diverse range of business clients. Her expertise extended to comprehensive rebranding initiatives, empowering organizations to articulate their vision with clarity and impact.

Beyond her business acumen, Laurie is a prolific author, having penned the best-selling books "Keep Those Clients" and "We All Have Choices," and co-founded the transformative "Gratitude Girls - 100 Day Gratitude Journal Challenge." She has also contributed her insights to three additional publications. As a sought-after motivational speaker and corporate sales trainer, Laurie inspires audiences with her authentic voice and empowering message, often called upon for special speaking engagements around the world. Her dedication to education is further evidenced by her five years of teaching at her children's Christian school and her subsequent decision to homeschool them, allowing her to balance her growing speaking career with her commitment to family.

Her mission to empower women to embrace their God-given potential has taken her across the globe, where she shares her wisdom and encouragement with diverse audiences. Laurie's life, however, has not been without profound challenges. In 2013, she experienced the devastating loss of her children's father in a tragic accident, navigating the complexities of grief while raising her four children, then aged 25, 18, 16, and 12.

Believing in God's guidance for her life, Laurie remarried in April 2020 to Kevin Radecki, following their meeting in December 2019. Laurie prayed for exactly what she wanted in a husband and God showed Himself strong in giving her more than she asked in a God-fearing and God-loving husband.

Laurie's unique experiences over the past few decades provide special insight and encouragement for those who take her courses. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of faith, and the profound impact of living a life dedicated to purpose and service. Her journey inspires others to embrace their own unique paths, to overcome adversity with grace, and to live with unwavering gratitude and purpose.

Tortellini Toscana by hello fresh

#TortelloniToscana

with #ZucchiniRibbons, Peas & Parmesan

Tender #tortelloni are pretty much great in any form, but they’re especially great when tossed with zucchini ribbons and green peas. Add a sprinkle of lemon zest and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the mix, and you’ve got yourself a pasta dish for the books. This divine dish is taken to the next level with a rich, silky sauce of Parmesan, garlic, butter, and crème fraîche. Be still, our pasta-loving hearts.

(I added two #chickenbreasts to the pasta while cooking, then when done shredded the #chicken)

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lemon. Using a peeler, shave #zucchini lengthwise into ribbons, rotating as you go, until you get to the seedy core. Discard core.

Once water is boiling, add tortelloni to pot. Reduce to a low simmer and cook until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Keep empty pot handy for the next step.

Heat pot used for tortelloni over medium-high heat; add 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (1⁄3 cup for 4), #creamcheese, crème fraîche, and #Parmesan until combined and creamy. Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Add tortelloni, zucchini ribbons, lemon zest, peas, and a squeeze of lemon juice to pot with sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until everything is thoroughly coated and zucchini ribbons are tender, 2-3 minutes. If necessary, add a few splashes of reserved pasta cooking water. • Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Divide between bowls. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
