Don't Be Jealous This fantastic guest post comes to us from my fellow Virgo Lady Smaggle. If you love her advice on this topic, you'll love everything on offer over at her blog. Go say hi! The green eyed monster comes to visit us all once in a while. But calm down just a minute there Miss Smaggle.

Or that friend who just bought her first house? It’s not that you’re bitter that they’ve achieved amazing things. No one will know you are writer unless you write something and show them. It’s time to be honest with yourself. In fact… tell me! I’ll start… I want to start my jewelery line. And you…? See you back here in three months to report.

My business is bangin’, my clients are beyond compare, and the personal transformations I’ve rollicked through over the past 12 months have been nothing short of astounding. I didn’t always feel like this. In fact, 15 months ago (and change) I was one sick, sad puppy. Now, a life lived ferociously is bound to include more than a few awkward birth canals. My approach? 33 Ways To Survive When Everything Sucks Dig INTO the misery. Get (playfully) dismal. Fill up your comedy tank. Get some healthy perspective. Rally the troops. Go pro. Go slow.
