Summer Quarter Unwrapped
Quarterly Theme: Growth Blooms Here
A Message from Gloria
"Pause and Prosper" is was our revolutionary theme for last quarter. Why? January is usually a time society encourages us to run full speed ahead into the new year. We encourage you to resist the urge to leap right into the hustle and bustle of new goals and spend more time reflecting, resting and restoring. We hoped that this extra nourishment would allow you to bloom beautifully into the rest of the year.
So here we are! It's time to get outside, soak up the sun, be encouraged by the new growth all around us and create our beautiful internal and external gardens.
