The Case for Lasting Relationships
As a mom, writer, life design coach, yogi, and aging athlete, I believe that the connection that we have with our mind, body and spirit is the key to our greatest success and happiness. As the founder of The Optimists Journal (www.theoptimistsjournal.com), my writing almost always reflects these themes and attempts to get to the heart of our own self awareness so that we can challenge our limits, create our best life and, in doing so, inspire younger generations to do the same. In an expression of my own journey of self reflection, in January 2019, I published 365 Days of Optimism -Mantras for Finding Confidence, Courage & Self Love one day at a Time – available on my website.
