My offer was met with disdain – I was rebuked by her friend for my audacity… Continue reading Who do YOU take advice from?
Last weekend I attended our Network's Super Regional. Friday evening was just for the leaders in the business. What an amazing evening! Our Platinum Presidential challenged us. Three months with NO negativity. Why? Because there are power in our thoughts and our spoken words! This is what she said: Every time you open your mouth,… Continue reading No Negativity Challenge
So Mother's Day is nearly upon us. For those of you who forgot, it's the 12th of May ... I'm looking at this from (believe it or not) three perspectives. One: I am not a mother. Not by choice.
