Like I said on the call yesterday, I would've never thought I'd be writing/creating two books to help homesteaders either define their dream or record their current property. Nor would I have thought I'd be starting another podcast for local business women. That group didn't exist January 2026. Just goes to show you that you've got to bob and weave with what life offers. :)

I belong to an estate planning group (mostly attorneys, CPAs and financial advisors) and just attend some of the monthly meetings. They offer the opportunity to sponsor a meeting, and this allows you to speak for about three minutes at the beginning of the meeting. A few weeks ago, I asked if I sponsored a meeting, can I hand out my book to all attendees. Yesterday, they asked if I would sponsor the June 2027 meeting because they are going to have a three-person panel to discuss retirement planning. They have an attorney, CPA and asked if I would represent the financial advisor for the panel. Stepping out of my comfort zone, I said yes. June 2027 seems like a long time from now. I think it's a great opportunity to talk in front of people and share my knowledge with COIs. I'm asking fearlessly and telling people what I want. I'm not waiting to be discovered.

Clegg shared some excellent prompts for our call today to help us finish the year strong. I put these on a slide deck to facilitate our meeting. Looking forward to discussing this with you.

I decided to go back and answer the journal prompts we did during the call yesterday. Sharing my answers here as accountability to myself to answer them.

We've talked about this in the last few Friday calls. Thought I would share with the group. https://youtu.be/tp7TQJ2q5QE?si=00QkN7Im6In4Qh4z I've been working to serve young men growing up without fatherly guidance for years now. I have had some successes along the way, but at the cost of my professional salary, which I stepped away from when I felt directed to do what I'm doing now. There have been a couple of times in this 8-year journey where I have decided to stop. In both cases something happened to point me back to continue making videos giving instruction, encouragement, and love to those who don't have the benefit of a loving, involved dad. I still don't know how this will work out, but I know this is what He wants me to do right now, whether or not I attain the success I hope for with these efforts. Hopefully this might give some of you encouragement too.
