Bookin' It With Bobbi

Click here for Audio Dancing is something that has got to be in my family’s DNA. In the 1940’s my grandparents, from what I understand were a phenomenal dance team. One of their favorite things to do was to go out dancing. When they arrived to the party the floor was theirs.  People loved seeing the synergy they had on the floor. They were described as the best dance couple in town. So, it is no wonder that I love to dance and always have, for as long as I can remember. You could say I dance to the beat of my own drum. I don’t take instruction well, but I can pick up moves pretty easily, with the exception of the robot. Yep, never could do the robot, but I am past that. Dancing is not only fun, but a great form of exercise. Oh and a great opportunity to release and express yourself. Who cares what anyone thinks or says. Get in the zone, have fun and let it rip. Beware, it will certainly get your heart rate up, work muscles you did not know you had and because it is so much f...

Click here for Audio This is one of the places I have experienced camaraderie at its finest, Authors Helping Authors. Writing is a competitive market, yet the general attitude of the authors I have encountered is how can I help you. Here is a number for you, there are over 4 million books available on Amazon. Yep, authors like Elin Stebbins Waldal ( Tornado Warning ) , Tom Dutta ( the way of the Quiet Warrior ) , Edna Ness ( Radical Recovery ) all stepped up and has helped me in one way or another. I find their honesty and willingness to lend a hand refreshing and on point. I am also very grateful for the tips and tidbits authors are sharing on social media. It is so cool to be surrounded by people that are there to lift you up and help you towards success and then rejoice with you. I am now lending a hand. I have read and reviewed a couple of books for authors. I am going to read another book soon for another author. I have a couple of friends and my son that are also i...

Click here for Audio There is not a mistake made that cannot be forgiven as long as you find the courage to admit the mistake was made. -Bruce Lee For some this is a doozy....  Asking for forgiveness or apologizing can be a bit intimidating or downright scary. As children we are taught to say sorry, but did we always understand why or what the issue was. I could see where it would be a lesson of accepting responsibility, resolving it and moving on. If explained correctly the child will learn that mistakes happen, but it is important that we assess and acknowledge. That acknowledgment may require an apology or an ask for forgiveness.   So why is the idea of apologizing or asking forgiveness so foreign to some? There are some who under no circumstances will utter apologetic words, but they will try to do things to make up for the misdeed. I have come across people like this and I take issue with the actions of an apology rather than the words. I actually would...

Click here for Audio So Yea, I have to say the most ridiculous thing is the need for perfection. Everything must be just perfect…. Really? What kind of self-inflicted stressors are we putting on ourselves to try to live up to perfection or to have to live up to someone else’s perception of perfection. Seriously, how can I possibly know what someone else considers perfect. Furthermore, why is their perception of perfect more important or better than mine? How about just being perfectly imperfect? Can we be okay with that? What is perfect or perfection? I believe it is an idea that varies by person. Idea being the operative word here… Your idea of perfect may not be at all that for the next person. Some want to use it as a noun, when in all reality it should be nothing more than an expression. One to encourage and empower to say the least. Like when a child proudly shows you something they did or made, you could respond by saying perfect! In such a way to show appreciation...
