First, there was Valentine's Day. Then there was Galentine's Day. How about we use the day to celebrate all that is great about us? We can have our own day where we connect with ourselves and show ourselves some self-love!

The Miracle Worker

by Brenda Hollohan October 08, 2018

Have you ever been deeply moved by a work of art? I have. The movie, The Miracle Worker, was about two people magically connecting. We saw them learn from each other, grow together, and help improve each other’s lives forever. The things and people we connect with make us who we are, and ignite in us an energy of confidence, power, and identity. Let the world see you!

Women are like tea bags. We are strong and resilient. We have ways of coping that allow us to move through tough situations. There is no doubt that a strong circle of girlfriends is just one of the supports we put in place. What does your cape look like?
