We are officially 3 months into the year. For some time is flying by, for others it’s a drag. How have you found 2021 so far? Overdue, but last week I joined the amazing Alma Angels community, who are on a mission to level the playing field for female entrepreneurs seeking funding. Through Church and conversations with friends I found myself asking a friend, “Do you feel you are doing your life’s work?” It is a not an easy question for anyone to answer. Does the answer roll off your tongue? Food for thought. Have a productive week.
