The party’s order of events was simple; I wrote, they read & are now raving about my 2nd book,…

STEP 4: CLAIM IT!
Sounds simple, right? Not if you truly want to get your life moving in the right direction! Claiming what you want in life is much more involved than just walking around making statements and empty demands from the Universe. Over the past few months, I have found…

I keep seeing posts like this: When one door closes, another door opens. Says who? Sometimes I think it’s important to just marinate in the closed door, think about why it closed.

The truth is, none of it is your fault. You have been attacked, controlled, manipulated, victimized from the mind of an out of control person. Abuse was done to you to control you. You were the receiver of action…
