the day we take our last breath, we are on a journey of self-discovery. We come into this world dependent on others and may leave the same way. However, in the in-between times, we have the opportunity to find ourselves, accept ourselves, and give ourselves away. Essentially this means becoming more aware of who we are physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually so that we can more fully align with our true selves. In doing so, we become empowered to have better relationships, create purposeful work, and live life more abundantly. In Embracing a Life of Abundance, we will:

• Explore the interconnectedness of mind, body, heart, and soul
• Gain insight into personal balance and integrity
• Expand knowledge and understanding of relationship dynamics
• Broaden and strengthen leadership skills
• Reflect on the qualities of a life well lived

No matter our age or experience, everything we know up to this point in our lives is, at best, incomplete, or, at its worst, destructive. We must internalize that we will never have all the answers. Acknowledging this, we can open our eyes and hearts to opportunities to become more congruent with our authentic selves. Are we willing to let go of habits and beliefs that hinder our overall health and growth to embrace meaningful practices that bring balance and wholeness to our lives? If so, now is a great time to start.
