A while ago I posted about authenticity and that, according to Gabby Bernstein (and many others, no doubt), our truth – right here and now – is all we need to offer other people; our “authentic self” is what attracts others to us, and allowing ourselves to be who we are is the only thing that…

MY FIRST HALF MARATHON (I did it!)
Hi all! Just wanted to check in here quickly and report that my first half marathon experience was a success.
