It's easy to get mired in the dismal news cycle. Bestselling author Loral Langemeier brims with optimism in this easy-to-read book. You will learn step-by-step how to move forward with your life as you follow the formula. You can say "yes" to opportunity and figure it out as you go.
As she writes in the introduction, "Our mantra is: Say yes now, then figure out how. By "figure out how," we mean sourcing solutions from a greater power, and gathering a team of capable, supportive people who know how to do what you don't to get to your goals." (Page xii)
YES! ENERGY is a winner. I recommend it.

You can't escape criticism, no matter how perfect you try to be. I finally learned to listen and evaluate criticism, take the best and learn from it, and leave the rest and move on. I can't please everyone with everything I do and that is OK. It was when I really "got that" that I was propelled to write this book, to help others who still quake from their fear of rejection and criticism." The… Read more
