I was talking to a friend recently about how we sometimes let other people define our success.

Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM
As a mompreneur mentor, publishing is a big part of my work, and with my daughters publishing their own book, it is part of my homeschool curriculum and my life as a mom. Worlds collide, I know.
