As I approach my final year in my 40s, I took a mini-sabbatical this week – my first overseas solo vacation to recharge and reflect on my first half of 2024.
During my time alone, I reflected on the 10 most important insights I have gained that have shaped my journey since starting a new path last year.
It also reminded me of the many wonderful individuals I have met on this path for whom I am thankful.
I want to share my reflection with you as a reminder of what you can find when you seek with an open mind.
