When your loved ones are seeing through a lens of frustration and negativity, do you help them see another way by sharing your perspective of optimism and light?

The budget took a hit by installing a new septic drain field? Yes, but isn’t it awesome that we only had to put in a new mound system, the tanks and lines didn’t need to be replaced?

Those who attended found it illuminating, deeply heart-opening, and I still hear from folks about that day, today. I am honored.
Explore through “Redefining Fine,” below. Then ask yourself:
What about my holiday, this year, would make me feel fabulous?
