Thank you for visiting Debbie Jorde's Blog!

I have experienced a life-long passion for self-improvement and service to others. Along my journey, I discovered the joy of sharing the lessons I've learned through writing and inspirational speaking. A few of my favorite subjects include accepting and overcoming challenges, self-love, and conscious choice along with personal growth. I also write about communication, overcoming addiction, healthy lifestyle, and overcoming resistance. I offer tips and tools to make creating the results you want for a life you love, easier.

In reading my blog, I hope you feel inspired and empowered to take action that will create more physical, emotional, and spiritual balance in your life. I enjoy being part of a community where we can learn and grow from each other.
