August is all about the YES in my world, and if you choose to follow along, you may never look at your “yeses” quite the same way again! I am also on month two of building resilience. When you say the right yeses for you, your resilience will build as you create more energy in your … Continued
I love good challenge! I think I have always been one to take one on and I have rarely thought of the bigger picture benefits. A challenge always stretches you and teaches you about yourself.
