Give yourself the best gift… Raise a glass to Rekindling Lives!

Image
  The universal truth of the year 2020 is that it has been testy... it pushed us to the limits of every known emotion, fear, frustration, sadness, anger, disbelief, doubt, and everything in-between. But, we lived through it cautiously and survived... that’s the ultimate take-home. Frankly, if we didn’t have that, there would be nothing left. The fear that crept into our heads might have stayed! It is natural. We were struck by an extraordinary adversary that kept us stuck in doubt, in our homes. But let’s not get stuck in our own heads… Let’s go out and find our own freedom.

Find a place like that and travel there.   Let me give you a hint… Is there a bett
