Resistance chirped in my ear all weekend. The sound was abrasive, unlike the joyful chatter of robins, cardinals and chickadees that sang of spring despite a mid-April snowfall.
Whatcha up to? Nobody wants daily emails! Go ahead, scrap this little adventure. We’ll go grab a snack and read a book. You haven’t jumped yet—almost nobody knows about this crazy idea—it’ll be our little secret. C’mon, push the button.

Resistance tested me—a good challenge. Thankfully I’ve been gifted a tool belt of books, trusted writers, and friends who help me outsmart the relentless saboteur.
What project is calling to your higher nature?
