Yielded One: No Grasshoppers Allowed

This place is small yet capable of imploding without a single witness.

I am in my head with unsettling thoughts because I've encountered a hiccup, a detour, a roadblock, a pimple, a text, an email, a letter, an unexpected knock on the door, an unplanned visit, an interruption, and a disruption from the journey in which I thought I had planned very well.

I planned meticulously with vision boards, sticky notes, Google calendar, desk calendar, task reminders, phone alerts, personal apps, as well as personal trainers and assistants.

However, life evolves without warnings. Within these pages are specific challenges--afflictions, disruptions, or interruptions--that were embraced and resolved.

With these resolutions, it is my deliberate intent to offer hope to any and all who encounter similar hurdles.

Be empowered with mental fortitude and equipped with practical principles as you forge ahead in spite of a hiccup, detour, roadblock, or any other disruption that momentarily distracts you from your greatness.Move forward, readjust, realign, and redefine what this affliction is meant to bring forward.

Bring to the forefront your style, grace, savvy, and polished virtues.

Allow it! You see the disruption; now let it see you--resilient, persistent, consistent, determined, and unstoppable.
