Learning about myself through the doorway of self-organizing groups

by lori | Aug 29, 2011 | Benefits, Impacts, Learning, Letting Go, Recognizing, Recognizing

Thanks to Doug Nathan for pulling these experiences out before my eyes where I could see them, and thanks to my community for teaching me that no matter what I say as an individual, that I’ll be supported and loved.  Consciously studying my own and close others’...
