Balance & Inspiration

We all have times when we must dig deep to get through the day, carry on, and carry forward, or even get out of bed. When you are going through change, sometimes it is difficult to find the balance you need to push the reset button and see the glass half-full rather than half empty. This segment of My Super Awesome Life is dedicated to inspiring;

Clarity of thought so you can find answers when you need them
Strength to handle things when they are upside down, not right side up
Courage to advocate for yourself and others in difficult situations
Strength to help you let go when all you want to do is hold on, and help you hold on when all you want to do is let go
Stories and ideas to help you find balance and fun in your life
Encouragement to believe in yourself and keep moving forward, so you can make your ideas happen and come out a winner in the game of life
