What is joy? What is your joy? Where does it comer from? How do you know it when you see it? How can you live a life filled with joy regardless of circumstances? While I’m away on Sabbatical (May 1st – July 31st of 2023), I’m inviting our community to explore Joy.

5 ways to get beyond imposter syndrome By Kristen Glass Perez. Thanks to WomenOfTheELCA.org. Reposting from https://www.boldcafe.org/5-ways-to-get-beyond-imposters-syndrome/ Recently, I received a request from a friend who is an expert in her professional field.
