December: A soft landing to a tumultuous year. That is my wish for you this month: Grace. Grace in difficult moments, with difficult people, during difficult times. For the grace you offer now, is the foundation on which you build your future. A Course in Miracles writes (with my own tweaking to…
Inspired by a recent article written by Elizabeth Bernstein about how words matter, I wanted to highlight in this month’s column just how important it is to think about not only what we say, but how we say it.
