Mindful Impressions

Welcome to the Unicorn Says Series.

This month I will share some excerpts from my nonfiction book titled Just A Unicorn. The book was self-published in 2018. It was a passion project that started in 2016. I wrote the book to encourage, educate, and empower. My book can be found on Amazon.com or be purchased at a wonderful store called Work the Metal if you live in the Louisville, Kentucky area.

The first several chapters of my book conclude with Making the Connection Questions. These questions are for the reader to ask themselves. I will include some of these questions throughout the series as well. I really do want you to take a moment to ask yourself these questions and find out what you learn.

My hope is to encourage everyone to buy and read the book. I really do hope some of you do. If you do purchase – please let me know in the comments. I would love to hear about it.

Excerpt from Chapter 5 – Learning to Say “No”

Taking Some Steps

The first step to gaining respect is to treat yourself with respect. People can see right away when you don’t have self-love. It’s very easy to manipulate people who don’t know or understand their value. Please understand that you have a right to your place in this world.

Making the Connection

(1) Can you respect another person’s “No!”? This means you understand when someone says “No” to your request. Do you understand that they have that right or do you get angry because you can’t get your way?
