Its Okay to Celebrate, Right?

February 15, 2019 by Steve Laswell

I’m conflicted.

I want to celebrate something. But I’m afraid it could sound like I’m tooting my own horn. The truth is something significant is happening in the Story. Yes, the Story connects and instructs, somewhere, somehow, sometime along The Journey our paths crossed.  

But first, I’d like to celebrate you. I would love to hear about your Next Level Journey. What happened when you left your Comfort Zone? How are…

“We’ve done everything we can…”

“But what if he rallies?” Mark interrupted, “it’s possible, right?”
