Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: I spent my free-write thinking about whether or not I’m too old to begin a new chapter, new phase of my life. I spent the last few decades working on projects I loved. But, they were all too diffuse. Over the last year, I’ve changed my focus. Actually, it’s…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: “Decide You Deserve It,” is the name of my new book. I realized this morning that while I’m writing this book, the words to me exemplify power from within. Before we do anything else, before we make any choices, before we act or take step one towards a goal,…
