Six Pillars of Self Esteem

In the scheme of things, I subscribe to the mantra "put your money where your mouth is....."; others call it "moxie", or ? me as to whether I'm "scared" of anything; to which the answer is YES.

Just taking the first step is the hardest (and when your big sister was there pushing you to do just that....well all I can say is; "Careful what you wish for!).
