What will it take? Baby steps, I keep telling myself. And continuing to put one foot in front of the other, day after day, in hopes of getting somewhere with those baby steps.Lisahttp://www.grandmasbriefs.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568326640927012582.post-71062391491050902482010-02-24T12:53:38.602-05:002010-02-24T12:53:38.602-05:00Great article you wrote.

So many times I wonder why I am doing this when the rewards are not yet here, and then I remember my original goals were not all monetary in nature.
