your daily rock : reconnect
As this year winds down, reconnect. Reconnect with people you love and have lost touch with. Reconnect with your inner child, that little self that was full of wonder. Reconnect with the beat of your own heart. Reconnect with all you have ever wished for. Reconnect with your capacity to …
