The Power of the Word NO!

As long as I can remember, I’ve done things I didn’t want to do until…..

I found my NO voice.

For me, it took a certain level of strength and maturity to find my NO voice. Now that I have it, I’m empowered when using it. I feel great saying NO when I mean NO… and I stick to my convictions.

“No, I’m not going out because I’m tired. No, thank you as I’m not interested. No, I won’t because I simply don’t want to, so there!”
