I received my first negative review, today. I've always wondered how I would feel when this finally happened. I died a little on the inside and felt all kinds of emotions. Not because I was offended, but because I had to agree with a few of her points. How do you react or respond when you receive a negative review? Or, how do you anticipate that you'll feel when it happens? Let me know.

We all have an inner-circle of friends and family that we hope will understand why we've chosen to do what we do. However, not all of them will. It can be frustrating and hurtful. We need to understand that, sometimes, people in our lives take time to warm up to the idea of us being writers. Then, there are others who will never get it. We have to be okay with that. We don't need their validation, anyway. If you enjoyed this video, please like and subscribe! Feel free to leave a comment. I love getting to know you guys.

So many times, we hear about the tangible steps we can take to aid in our transition to gray/silver hair. But, I wanted to talk a little about mental steps we can incorporate to assist us through to the other side of transition. I hope you enjoy it and it helps in some way.
