Big Fear vs. Big Magic
Last week, I did a little flashback to a post I had written absolutely fear and how it will grip you and hold you hostage if you let it. Today, I wanted to give a little pep talk to anyone facing down the universe in some aspect of their life. And I can think of …
Let Fear Fuel You or Let It Swing You By The Tail
Here’s a little Thursday Throwback for everyone on this journey called Life! It may be focused on my self-publishing journey, but it speaks to any path that is new and scares you.
