Yay, Ellen! Taking that time and making a serious decision is key! You'll rock this.

My goals have changed over time, but I'm guessing that's common. Now it's time to make a plan.

Thanks, Lisa!

You're absolutely right, Jenny. I love meeting with folks who don't have the burdens of what they "should" be doing. I've seen magic happen with these unlocked folks!

"The key is: There is no key.
Even more amazing: there is no lock."

I think many authors build their own locks because of that fear you mentioned. The only thing keeping us from success most of the time is a skewed definition of what success means.

It has been a privilege to see your growth and expansion-becoming congruent within yourself and creating not only new definitions of success with goals that match, also finding out success can flow and be easy and fun! I am so incredibly proud of you and inspired by you.

Thanks, Denise! I see so many authors fighting "should" so much that they can't see what they can and do want to do. I watch them get derailed and it just breaks my heart. Then I see another writer come along without that baggage, and it is a beautiful thing to see!
