Top 10 Reasons You’re Jealous I’m NOT Going to ACFW

This is the second ACFW conference I’ve missed since 2005. The second one in Indianapolis. Go figure! And while I fretted and lamented and whined about missing the first one, I’m much more mature this time around. Really! And this year YOU’RE gonna be jealous because I’m not going to ACFW. So try and be mature about it while you’re scrambling to finish last minute conference things this week and crying over the top 10 reasons you’re jealous I’m not going to ACFW this year!

10.  I’m NOT stressing or rewriting my one sheet, proposal, or opening chapters like you!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
