As the New Year begins, we have an opportunity for a fresh start. A chance to set new goals or recommit to old ones. We have the opportunity to design how we would like the year to unfold and who we want to be. An opportunity to decide what you value, what is important to you, and where you want to focus your attention and intention. You can grow, change, heal and actualize your goals.
In an effort to support your growth and development, I’m sharing some of my favorite books on a variety of topics (in no particular order) that support well-being, resilience, and healthy relationships. Which titles speak to you and your goals?
