I am the Pivot queen. Not always because I wanted to be. In business you have to know when to assess a situation, learn from past experiences, and propel yourself into the future. What used to take me years to do and learn, became a matter of survival in the instant moments I had to just make a decision and JUMP.

This episode I wanted to bring myself to the mic and share a story about my past season, current season, and the season to come. Because life is all about seasons that are always shifting. We have to be real with where we are first in order to know where we are going. Once we think we know, what are the questions we have to help fill in the gaps? Are they broad or are they really specific? Both?

The Woman in the Arena*
“It is not the critic who counts;
not the woman who points out how the strong woman stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the woman who is actually in the arena,

who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but she who does actually strive ...
