Is there anything you still have to count on your hands to figure out? The other day, someone mentioned the, “7th month of the year.” I had to take both hands out of my pockets so that I could verify on my fingers which month they meant. (The answer is “July.”)

In the first 34 years of my life, I wrote 0 books. In the last 13 years I’ve written 10 books. What changed? Lots. One thing that really helped was that I learned how to apply my imagination to my creativity, instead of my anxiety.

Don’t ask a busy, successful person if you can buy them coffee. They have access to coffee. Ask what book you should read. Read it. Email them the 3 biggest things you learned. Ask for another title. Repeat. Eventually, they’ll buy you coffee.

I DON’T WANT TO BE SICK. A young child is sick for the day. They feel the tingling and mingling feelings and find relief in doing things with their family. Soon the day is over and the doubly bubbly child helps others in the family cope with the mucky yucky feelings.
