It’s hard letting go at any age. I remember it being particularly difficult at 5, 11, 16, 20. Looking back it was about every 4-6 years! Each time it felt like they were going FOREVER! I realized they are like boomerangs! They return when you throw them! They can’t return if they’re not thrown!

A Letter To My Younger Self about saying “No” by Ellyn Spragins

I was recently at an event where Ellyn Spragins, author of Letters To My Younger Self, spoke to a group of Women Entrepreneurs at the BIG Summer Summit at Skylands Castle on July 22, 2010. Her wisdom and experience spoke from the heart to ALL of us.

I wanted to share her blog A Letter To My Younger Self about saying no. It clarifies what we all go through in taking action to honor the priorities that are important to us as busy, working women.

Take a moment out of your busy day to show patience with someone in your family today.
