by John T. Chirban

RECONNECT WITH THE PERSON YOURE MEANT TO BE A four-step process that opens the door to a meaningful life...Life's authentic moments provide the groundwork for connection to ourselves, others, and God, allowing us to assess what is most important in our lives and uncover the True Self.
