One for the Success Journal
Today's 5 minutes: I've decided to publish my five minutes of blog writing per doctors orders (9:46pm-10:03pm) rather than having it build up to a single post after several days. Yes, I know that's 17 minutes there. But, I think that was her very idea ... to break the seal; get the ball rolling; create... Continue Reading →
