Working to uncover my health diagnosis, which still isn’t official yet has taken up a lot of my energy and capacity.

    “Create offers out of love, not fear.” (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    A few years ago, said something to me that’s been etched in my brain ever since. “We should create our offers with love, not fear.” The Bar of Bars. Now I’m sure can comment with her interpretation wink wink but here was my takeaway.
