Last year, at a Fun Fabulous Female event with Delinda Layne, I met Kerrie O’Connor. We have met together for coffee a few times, chatted on Facebook, and she has helped pump up my self-esteem. I am not one to wear much make-up. A light foundation and maybe a dab of lipstick. Kerrie spent some

Some of my most frustrating moments come when I say ‘yes’ to something I wanted to say ‘no’ to. Do you do the same? The journal prompt for this week asks “How do you feel when you do this?” A hard lesson to learn was that ‘no’ is a complete sentence. It is okay to
