Welcome to Embers and Wind!

Laura Diaz in talking about her book Choosing Confidence: 21 Ways Women Can Increase Self-confidence states “The book is about how I decided to choose confidence for me and build a position of strength and I’m sharing that so that way for the reader to realize that all of us can choose a position of strength which I define as choosing confidence. And in this book, I talk about 21 ways …that I chose to really accelerate the confidence and the position of strength for me to just keep going for my own self-actualization and my own personal development and to share that as the way for other people to really learn from this. And I mention here for women because I’ve known more women that I’ve worked with that confide in me about their lack of confidence.”
