Hammering!
So much of this book includes the process of hammering designs onto metal. With more than a half million hammer strikes under my belt, I can safely say that hammering is a life changer in that:
You find strength that you never knew you had.
You may face each new piece, each new design with fear and trepidation, but you face it head on, releasing all self-doubt and accepting that you are human and not a machine.
Just like the main character in the book, Goldie never walks away from the fear and the challenge of all that comes her way.
She strikes each metal stamp with strength that she never knew she had. And she faces each new life-changing obstacle with newly found empowerment, beyond just hammering.
I hope you will see a bit of yourself in Goldie and rise to each challenge with as much strength as you can. I trust you are so much stronger than you know!
xxoo,
Colleen

Empowerment
We just finished our journey across the country in our car with most of my life's belongings. Driving almost 3,000 miles reminds me a lot of the book.
It's a story about empowering yourself.
About not letting fearful or uncertain circumstances define you.
It's about rising above self-doubt and moving forward.
It's about embracing what is given to you and going beyond its definition. Taking what you've got and making it better.
Facing fear head-on, with a little help from Hope and believing in yourself.
It's about never giving up.
Each chapter reveals a bit more about the protagonist, Goldie and how she handles life's challenges, rises above, and ultimately grows as a person, looking to the future with a sense of hope and a future.
My hope is that this book will find you and help you in your own journey.

Miracles
Hi!
I heard a story recently about changing your thinking from "trying and trying" to actually "expecting" that something wonderful is just about to happen. Some may call it manifesting. Some may call it positive thinking.
Either way, that way of thinking is new to me. Maybe you feel the same way.
I've heard that when you expect good things to happen, your chances are better that they will.
Angels work on the plan. Serendipity happens. The phone rings at just the right time. The puzzle starts to take shape and people, places and things line up just right.
That is my wish for all of us today. That we learn to expect good things to happen and trust that all of our hard work and positive thoughts will be transformed into that miracle that we are hoping for.
Sending miracles and positivity your way today, dear friends!
