This is just a short scribble about moving on with your life, and refusing to live by the opinions of others.

How to get anything you ever wanted in life.

The Panther totem, a totem of protection and strength.

Giving others the strength to keep going.

Deployments uphill battles and downhill falls.

As the senior staff writer for The Gates of Seminole Magazine (a Central Florida magazine), one of my jobs is to write my publisher’s notes for her (evidently, it’s the nature of this business to ghost write even more than the articles you’re assigned, oh well, money’s money). My publisher is a very accomplished woman in a variety of areas, but her chief talent is optimism. I swear, I don’t think Ashly has a negative bone in her body. This upcoming edition of the magazine, Ashly wanted me to write about concurring adversity. It’s a simple, feel-good piece that is supposed to work as a giant inspirational quote to those who are down in the dumps but still live in multi-million dollar homes. It just goes to show you, money cannot buy strength. Even millionaires need a pick-me-up. Here is the article, which she liked so much that she is now having me write a NEW publisher’s letter and giving this one it’s own special section. I hope you enjoy it.

Being told you are a role model, but you don’t see it like others do.

Women still have a long way to go to reach equality in a man’s world.

Do you have a strong voice, or a well-built frame, or tons upon tons of cash? There’s a good chance that you have none. But is this a reason to get down? I say, "Nay".

Everything from the way you dress to the nonverbal messages you’re sending the world become a mirror reflection of who you are and what you’ll ultimately attract into your life, business, personal relationships, etc. To help you better maneuver and understand the world it’s a good idea to learn as much as you can about human behavior, communication, and everything that goes along with personal choices. To get started, focus on the meaning and significance behind color choices.
