We hear so much these days about finding your voice, fulfilling your destiny, embracing your purpose and living more meaningfully in the moment
I recently received the press release below regarding the 52nd Wesleyan Writers Conference to be held, June 15-June 2O.
Unfortunately there are not too many free luncheons anymore. But it is my hope that someone reading the release might find this opportunity as just what he or she needs to take advantage of in order to manifest their being at this stage in their life.
