Celebrating Life: A How-To Guide

Janet has been searching for answers on how to weather life's challenges with grace and gratitude. It's not easy, especially at times when there seem to be more downs than ups. She is not even close to figuring it all out, but there are a few things that she has learned on her journey, things that work for her, and may just work for you. Join Janet for an open and honest conversation about learning to love yourself, or at the very least, learn to put yourself on the list.
