My husband was in sales for 50 years so I was fortunate that his training and attitude towards “asking for business” rubbed off on me. He laughingly said, “it is easier to ask for it than work for it.” meaning that you are going to have to work much harder if you don’t learn to ask your worth

I once was swimming in the middle of the deep end of a pool. As I rose to the surface after a dive, I took a breath and began to choke. It is a quirk of my anatomy that it happens with little reason. I remember thinking – “I can’t breathe” as I gasped for air. But instead
