7:00 am Wake up. Coffee is on, thanks to hubby's forward thinking.

7:15 am reading through emails that came overnight. I'm looking for requests for information for a major client. Watching for leads to be placed with agents. Seeing if there are any voice mails that need to be returned. Love that 2 minute commute after a stop for coffee.

7:30 am mentally run through open tasks.
- Scanning documents to return to client
- Leads to place
- Updates
- Meeting at 9 am CST

My courageous action that day was simply letting my voice be heard; speaking my truth.

"Public" speaking is very difficult for me. Putting myself on public display in front of the world via the internet is excruciating. Expressing myself through social media gives me the shakes. I do fine in intimate groups, with people I've developed...

This is a Universal Principle. When you focus your attention on anything, this is where your energy also focuses. Think about it, when you were learning to parallel park, did you think "must not hit the curb, must not hit the cone, must not be too far from the curb"? Did any one of those things happen? Or do you avoid parallel parking at all costs? How about when you are driving and spot a pothole? Do you think "must not hit the pothole"? And do you? If you're like me, if you think about it, chances are you at least drifted towards that hole.
