The 10th day of February marked a new beginning to a year that has already been spinning way too fast for so many of us. Like a firecracker shooting light in every direction and just as hard to catch… We encourage you to let yourself be swept up in the whirlwind, give in to the spinning and turning of life all around you, rather than fighting against the natural current. You may surprise yourself and be pleasantly amazed by where this self-trust takes you.
