CHOOSING GRATITUDE ONE DAY AT A TIME

I started out as always the new kid. My dad was in the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and we moved far distances every four years. I have lived from coast to coast in Canada and I learned that my willingness to be the courageous one who starts a conversation was my best way to be welcomed into a friendship.

You would think that being a female entrepreneur would be easy due to the novelty, but that soon wore off....now I fight the urge to not continually say :

In my world, I cannot commit to this proverb. In my reality, it IS my circus and these ARE my monkeys.
So where does that lead me ?
Stay tuned to find out ;) xo
