What a big deal! My contribution to the Elephant Journal was promoted to the Magazine Section!!
The other day I opened up my personal emails to notice I received an exciting email from Elephant Journal, a digital publication that I subscribe to and admire. The subject line read "Kinda of Big Deal..." This journal shares tips with their readers on how to live a more MINDFUL life which aligns with my lifestyle.
To my deep surprise, one of their editors picked up my instant contribution article and move it to publish it in the magazine section.

When I wrote this article, I stepped outside my comfort zone and vulnerably shared about how my controlling perfectionism spiraled out of control and I was taught some deep life's lessons.
