Breakthrough Moment from your Midlife Coach

I don’t know = REGRET

Thanksgiving seems to be the usher for the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. It also seems that after Thanksgiving, time seems to run on warped speed until we are finally ready to take a breath at the start of a new year. My gift to you this holiday season is the reminder…
