Meet Katie Mattie, author, speaker, filmmaker and blogger who is this blog’s first guest blogger – what an honor Katie – thank you!

Sometimes you have a perfectly perfect plan of where you’re going in life. Sometimes you have a big dream, and every day you work toward making that dream a reality.

Sometimes your big dream comes true instantly.

And sometimes you have to dig into your back-up plan. Sometimes you have to dig into back-up plans B, C, D, E-Z to make the big dream come alive.

Wherever you are on your journey, your dream is still waiting for you. Your job is to figure out how many back-up plans you’ll have to use to get there.

So…are you brave enough to get to plan Z?

    So good to hear from Katie Mattie. We often stop when Plan A doesn’t work. Think of all the world misses out on because we stop before the miracle! Thank you Katie and Linda!

    I woke up this morning with the mission to write a poem and/or a brief speech for my son University graduation dinner. It would be an honor to share her back up plan. Like Katie, my son inspires me to be the best I can be everyday, it was pretty cool to meet her in person.
