As long as we're moving forward, that's what counts. I know I've been guilty for years of having more wishbone, and like you said, Sonia, LLC and WWBC hold me accountable and give me a dose of reality and a backbone adjustment that I need. <br /><br />Gary, thanks for hosting me despite last minute changes. Way to go LLC! <br /><br />Hope you all keep me posted on your results and progress this fall!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175408984069796542.post-20463202362646899642011-11-08T05:02:06.411-05:002011-11-08T05:02:06.411-05:00I like this post, you use an excellent metaphor.

Dreaming big is GOOD, but not when you get so carried away with it you find little successes discouraging instead of motivating just because they aren't your "whole enchilada." I'm finally learning to keep my dreams big but to break them down into backbone-sized chunks and accept the notion that slow and steady just might win the face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175408984069796542.post-65969097470671993562011-11-04T21:36:39.600-04:002011-11-04T21:36:39.600-04:00I apologize for putting up your post so late Jess ...I apologize for putting up your post so late Jess but we are happy to have you anytime! I enjoyed reading it. I got a kick out of the videos. With your knack for getting things across, you would make a great school teacher.

But even when we get a backbone and use it, our backbone may still need a realignment now and then. In fact, I'm going through that now. Great tips! Gary, thanks for publishing Jess's post. It was too good to miss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
