Mastermind Blog

Please read the post before this one for the real June letter.  Thanks. If you feel that another woman would benefit from these blog posts, feel free to pass on the link.  I know that some of you are very shy to put your thoughts here, but you are very strong on supporting others growth, so please don't hesitate to put your kudos in the comments.  If you are concerned about your anonymity use a fake name.  I'll still read comments sent by Big Foot, Barn Owl, or even Little Beaver.   It doesn't matter what our names are.  What matters is that we are finding support for our growth and change and acknowledging that others are on that same path.   This may seem like a small step for women but it is much larger than you think. Sincerely, Carmen

The restorers have finished their part of the job on my home and now it is my turn.  I have been sifting through years of accumulated junk for quite some time now.  As I toss the unknown things away, I vow not to accept other people's garbage.  That doesn't mean I wouldn't take a used bird ...
