This week I've been working on the next chapter of my sequel memoir. I picked up on my story in the summer of 2015.

Write Your New Story for 2020
Stepping into 2020, a New Year, a New Decade I can't help but compare how different I'm starting this year from last, this decade from the one that started 2010.

I’d seen many of them flying over Jordan Lake in central North Carolina during my years of living in that area, but never had I walked within feet of one. He … Continue reading Moving Question

Prior to my training, I would have probably encouraged the client to write down their options, … Continue reading Follow Your Energy
