When my friend Lisa Robbin Young asked me to be one of her guest bloggers in her 30-day “Be Your Own Guru” series, my first thought was “huh?! Me? A guru?” HA! After I stopped giggling a little bit, I realized that I did have something to share and a message that might be helpful [...]
When I started my fight for freedom, I promised you I’d blog about my journey every day. I was pretty good at keeping that promise for, oh, the first week. Then life stepped in and gave me a nice, swift kick in the ass. Some things transpired personally and professionally that were really tough to [...]
