As a writer, I can look at the direction a story is heading and say, “This will not go where I’d like it to go.” I can then delete the work I’ve done, edit it, or shelve the entire story and start fresh with a different idea. Doing that with your life is a little… Read More Motivational Monday: Evaluate the plot
Motivational Monday: Be thankful for the day
While I was having my “vacation” I had a terrifying few days. My daughter-in-law went in for a routine surgery, was sent home, and then was taken by life-flight to the hospital that night.

Today, I’d like to look at something I’m in the middle of doing, myself. A while back I made a post… Read More Motivational Monday: Change your why and how

Motivational Monday: Recognize your barriers
It doesn’t matter how much we want to achieve a certain goal, everyone has a barrier to it. Sometimes it’s a speed bump, at other times it’s an entire mountain range. Every so often you’ll find a speed bump that feels like a mountain, too. Recognizing those barriers can sound depressing, and even demoralizing. The… Read More Motivational Monday: Recognize your barriers
