Glad you can benefit from her good ideas. She used to do live coaching and speaking sessions. Never saw her.
Oddly, one of her question and answer sessions on a recording was the only one all my life or in any self-help guru’s work who said a problem is being told too often by teachers and others while growing up you are a genius, you are so talented it should be easy for you-—but if it isn’t easy then you feel like a total loser. That happened to me a lot. Pressure and then no one to understand it isn’t always easy.
People on FR help me say grounded. I’m never overpraised here.
Your comment is very pertinent to me. I was smarter than the average bear growing up, but felt I had no artistic talent whatsoever, so I stifled that part of me, and always went on the brainiac/analytical way of looking at things. I learned much later that I do have a creative side also. I can’t draw worth a damn, but I can take decent photos, and I’m somewhat into poetry. The friend that gave me this book is encouraging me to stretch, to take chances, to fail, and to try again. It’s been good for me. I’m grateful. Learning to let go of those negative voices in my head.
Yes, I love FReepers, too. I learn humility when I least suspect it’s coming.
