      Navigating This Book

      Before going on a road trip, you need the essentials: paper and pen, a map, and a destination.

      Hi, I’m Deb. And I love helping people set and achieve their goals.

Over the years, the group—which was named Write On!—has gone through many changes and now also embraces creatives and entrepreneurs. We have live meetings where I give out “stars”—a gold star when you achieve the goals you set, any color star for effort. There’s also a substantial online СКАЧАТЬ
