At the time of this writing, Self Care month has entered week three. Week one we pondered what meaningful Self Care looks like at this juncture in our lives. After careful thought and consideration, in week two we set a meaningful Self Care intention. And now, the rubber meets the road regarding implementation. How do we represent our stated intention…

At the time of this writing, we are one week into #KGSelfcare month.
