A Future coming into focus

Today I saw 1 of 5 Defy videos on Interview Skills and 1 of 2 videos on Building Credit. Still think their materials are awesome. The lady who presents the information on credit-building could go toe-to-toe with Suze Orman. 
Along with taking the quizzes which correspond to each video lesson, I also completed exercises which challenge students to think of how they will transfer the skills into the real world. The latter exercises, I believe, are the best part of the program. I enjoy completing them because when I do, I find it easy to slip into visualizing the future I want to manifest for myself.

Defy’s Re-entry Course is awesome. It’s the best I’ve seen in prison. It sets the standard high. I am thankful that I am in the only prison in the State of California where Defy’s curriculum is currently available. I call that God’s favor!

At 6am I called Mom and sang her happy birthday (slightly off key), then we prayed.
​After work, went to my Al-Anon group.

Turned in all my lessons for Steps 1 & 2 of the Defy curriculum. They made a copy of everything and handed me a new workbook which has everything I need to complete the next two steps.

I am now halfway through the first step of Defy Ventures “CEO of Your New Life” curriculum. To get this far I watched eight video lessons, which I actually enjoyed. I think it was a good use of my spare time.
