I’m doing nothing. Yep, I’m busy.

I am reading Big Dreams Daily Joys by Elise Blaha Cripe and had to share something she wrote about.  I'm not even half way through the book and I'm nodding, taken back and enjoying!

Stepping into the arena – Part 1

New year new decade.  My word for 2020 is fierce.  I'm determined to pull my word out when I am doubting myself.  My doubt often comes into play when I have an idea. You know, oh that has already been done. It is not ready, I can't pull that off.  I am sure you can …
