**A Special Reminder:**
For those who attended my wellness class at The Sharon Baptist Church WOG (Women of Grace) Conference on 10/31, let’s turn those SMART Goals we discussed into action! Now’s your opportunity to put them to the test in a fun and intentional way.
**Introducing the 21-Day Habit Challenge!**
