Happy New Year, Everyone!
Hope your 2020 is off to a great start!
There are a bunch of LA-based and online events planned for January in line with the release of Your Goal Guide, so there will not be a regular meeting this month. Still, plenty of opportunities to hang out and connect. See events below, as well as my Mango Author Page. And keep an eye on The D*E*B Method Facebook page for links and live streams throughout the month.
If you haven’t already done so, share your 2019 Accomplishments and 2020 Goals. Feel free join the Write On Online Facebook Group and chime in there, as well.
Please send items for the January Newsletter by Monday, January 6.
