What I Will Miss About Right Now…In The Future

I have these question cards that I buy off of Amazon…they ask you random questions in order to get you thinking. I use them for journaling a lot. I just write down random things. Sometimes the questions are profound and sometimes they are stupid questions like, “Have you ever seen an alien?”The answer to that...

Being Brave

Lately, I have made it a point to talk to women I meet about their goals, aspirations, career choices and things like that…and there has been one common theme that I have heard over and over again… “I really want to do XXXX, but I am scared of failing.” or “It is my dream to...
