My Goal

For as long as I can remember I have been a “dreamer”, always wanting to try something new or achieve some goal.  But sadly I have also been very self-defeating and provided myself with many reasons why I shouldn’t do something or why I didn’t deserve the success.

Earlier this year I attended a two-hour mandatory training at work, and knew immediately that I wanted to be part of the select group of employees that would spend 2-weeks in an intensive training course and emerge as Certified Master Value Coach Trainers.

What I learned about myself through the Values Training has led me to write this blog and open myself up in hopes that my experiences will help others who feel they are also unworthy of achieving greatness find the courage to move forward.  I will also be sharing the 12 Core Values with you throughout 2012 (one value per month)

In a nutshell (you will learn more about me as this blog progresses), I am a PROUD Army veteran, single mom, college graduate…and an eternal optimist and dreamer.  My biggest dream, which I have had since I was 5 years old, is to be a published author.

Yes I have started dozens of novels and they all sit half finished.  Thanks to Values Training I have one story ready for publication and I now dedicate 2 hours per day writing on one novel.  When it’s done I’ll complete the next and then the next and so on.  I have never allowed anyone to read my work, but I am posting some of my early short stories on this blog as a way to overcome my fear.

Together we can see that no one life is a perfect fairytale story, that we all have fears and doubts but that we have the power within ourselves to rise above and be the awesome person we were meant to be.
