Authenticity in Community
My Word of the Year for 2016, which I chose late last fall, is AUTHENTIC. I made a good choice. It’s been really fulfilling, and quite freeing. My good friend Dawn recently posted the following goal in an online group we’re both part of (shared with permission): “My goal right now, in life and in my business, […]
6 Ideas for a Daily Self-Love Practice
