Happy September, SynerLINK friends,
As the school year begins for many of our families, I believe it’s important to reflect on consciously on the choices they are making and how they impact our well-being. This month’s lead article challenges some of our assumptions about our lifestyle, the choices available to us, and how busy we really are. How would our days be different if we simply did one thing after another?
Colorado community members – Don’t miss my upcoming free talk on the 7 Foundations of Health and Happiness. I’ll be speaking to the Northwest Metro chapter of Colorado Business and Professional Women this Wednesday, September 3rd at 6pm, at the Kokopelli Beer Company, 8931 Harlan Street in Westminster. Hope to see you there!
