Today I want you to live by a 10 two-letter word sentence.   I think that most of us put the responsibility for things on someone else -- a coworker, supervisor, friend, spouse, child, parent.... but just for today live by these words: if it is to be it is up to me. ********** Welcome to Baby Steps Out.  This is a blog dedicated to helping you get out of a bad place by taking small steps.  It offers a challenge that can be done in less than 5 minutes each day.   The  introduction can be found here.
