Possibility after Tragic Loss

November 21, 2015 · Leave a Comment

On Tuesday night, I completed the Landmark Forum in Atlanta. It was by far the most transformational course I’ve ever taken in my life and I wanted to share the new possibilities that opened up for me. Upon registering for the Forum, participants are asked to consider an important area of their life they would like to focus on.
