One bite at a time." Don't look at the mountain ahead, just look at the next 10 steps you need to take and then the next 10 steps until you reach the peak. Eat the Elephant..... Elizabeth & Marcus found strength in each other and stayed focused on the things they could control, letting go of the fear of the things that were out of their control. They together focused on the next few steps, lived in the moment and learned to celebrate the small things each and every day. https://www.thesacredtransition.org/contact daily 0.75 2022-06-01 https://www.thesacredtransition.org/donate daily 0.75 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f12fdea44ac5251db78e5/1624563101086-XKMPUNKGRAMI0EQ2U82Y/Elizabeth+Taylor+-+Branding-27.png Donate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesacredtransition.org/services daily 0.75 2025-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f12fdea44ac5251db78e5/1634009207629-3QJQC4SU8PHCXSUT6U44/0M9A4338.jpg Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f12fdea44ac5251db78e5/1626282036820-7QXLVLXP17NUVS1ER4A0/unsplash-image-XaGPw6cAv78.jpg Services - I continue this fight worth fighting, with a life worth living, in pursuit of a life well lived.
