Did you know…

Not anymore.

Now I write, edit, and blog.

I also help others turn their e-books into print books.

And I provide advice to others through coaching.

But prostitution earned me more money than blogging. Or teaching.

Seriously.

However, now my days are structured differently.

And I love them.

We All Have Skeletons

You probably have a story about your past that you’re not proud of.

In fact, almost everyone does.

But… do you own it?

Do you tell others about it, or do you keep it hidden, praying no one ever finds out?

I’m probably the gutsiest person I know.

Likely, no one.

Just me.

I finally learned to be proud of my past.

Why?

Because it has made me who I am today.

I was recently interviewed by David Ralph from Join Up Dots.
