Not So Throwback

Not So Throwback

Today we get into my story of forgiveness and the power of stepping into fear and what it can do for you.  

If you are afraid of getting yourself to change, that is great! It means that you are still alive and kicking, It means that you still have a little fight in you left. It means that growth is just beyond your reach and you are moving toward it.  So take the plunge and get started on your new journey to a better you. The BEST part! you are not going to be alone.
