Questions on Topics That Matter Vicki K Silverman

At some point, we may wonder how to balance everything and go to sleep feeling a sense of satisfaction that it has been a good day.

Then, we go to bed exhausted, fall asleep (or not), and wake up the next day, wondering, hmmm, what was yesterday all about?What if we could consider the issues we face, and, at the same time, challenge ourselves from within? How could we do that and what would that look like?Imagine meeting with a small group once a month, at someone's home or through an on-line group, all bringing different life experiences and expertise to discussions.
