Better than before - Clean Slate

Have you ever wanted to get a fresh start, have a clean slate? There's a reason for that. A clean slate is the perfect time to begin a new habit, or to break down ones you don't like. Continuing to read Gretchen Rubin's Better than before, host Abigail Wright uses her parents as a prime example as they enter into retirement, living on a sailboat. 

Good news! You don't have to move onto a sailboat to create a clean slate. Instead, career and success coach Hal Elrod has an idea and an invitation for all of us to embark together on our best month ever this November. Check it out!

How Am I Still Standing (Labrum with An R)?

Thanks for joining me for season 2 of The Peace of Persistence! This season, we'll have more interviews with amazing people, and a brand new feature. Each week, expect another episode on Fridays about my own persistent search for success and happiness.

This week, I come clean about the struggles I've had physically for the past nine months, and I'm reminded of last season's extended audio episode with Paul Nelson. At 99 years of age, he talks about how he always assumes everything's going to work out. A lesson I definitely need to remember. 

Oh and it's a labral tear, not that other thing that starts with "lab." ;)

How am I still standing? Season 2 of The Peace of Persistence starts with a bang, and an ouch - and hopefully some healing. More at http://www.peaceofpersistence.com Related links!
