Workshop: Visions for a New Year
Would you like to be intentional about welcoming in the New Year by setting personal goals that will help you have the best 2021 possible? Would you like some support and encouragement from your Jane Does Well sisters as you think about your hopes and dreams for the coming year? Join us as we explore ways to establish New Year goals that are both empowering and manageable. Each of us will then create our own vision board incorporating these goals.
