Hey Friends! It's me, Grace! I'm a little late with the podcast this week, but as I mention at the top of the show, I took a couple of days off for my birthday! Yes, I turned 66 and had to spend a little time doing...nothing. Just nothing at all. Priceless!
The links I mentioned in the prodcast episode are below. I hope they're helpful.
I'd like to thank you as always for listening. I hope you’ll let me know what you think about the podcast and if any particular episodes resonate with you.
Listed just below here is my contact information and all of the social channels where you can find me, as well as the link to our Facebook Group. Some of these are in the infant stages, so please keep that in mind if you don't see too much activity in these early days. We'll get there, I promise.
