In memory of Debbie Hill

It seemed only fitting that the way to remember my friend Debbie who passed away yesterday after a short illness was with a blog, so that she can always be part of my journey on my website.

Debbie was such an incredible support, encourager, cheerleader and I don’t know how she found the time to coach anyone as she seemed to often report doing happy dances for me and my journey.

I have come up with these gems that Debbie shared during our conversations, so that her wisdom lives on, and who knows there may just be something in here that you need to hear right now. Debbie was so generous with her time and input, it doesn’t surprise me there was so much in there, and this was just the messages!
