This is a review of what we’ve been discovering about ourselves.  Now here is our challenge for the weekend.  Go to a mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and change the title of this blog from “You are…” to “I am…” and repeat it out loud at least 3 times this weekend.  Say it and believe it.  And if you're brave (and you are), share this exercise with someone else and say it out loud to each other.  Have a nice weekend (and you WILL). That is all.

To inspire you, enjoy:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZimx1wHYcs
