For Dr. Lyons, she can find many words, but to summarize in one word is more challenging.  Gertrude would love to hear your ONE word on this Independence day. What does it evoke in you? Also, what have you freed yourself from halfway through the year? What are some of the freedoms you enjoy that you often take advantage of? These topics can be great ponderings over the holiday or serve as great journal prompts. It’s a great time to reflect on the ups and downs of the first half of the year. It can be a few minutes, a conversation with others, or a meditation. Don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter so you can hear more about the upcoming book and the upcoming fall retreat. This is a great way to reconnect with flow and form new ideas and claim ourselves and our independence.
