Honoring Legacy – and the Impact of Caregivers
Today, I have the great pleasure of being the host on Day 2 of the Virtual Blog Tour for author Carolyn A.

Dancing with Life’s “Ebb and Flow”

You engage in a meaningful dance of “what is” – exploring each dance step and how it can fit into the overall picture of life. During this Libra moon phase, think “grace in space.” If you meet an obstacle or encounter resistance, dance like you expected it to be there. Libra’s skill is knowing just how to…
