SUMMARY:Treat Yourself to Simple Pleasures
DESCRIPTION:Program \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				We are commanded at every turn to pamper one’s self. Self-care\, self-care; everywhere. The best definition of self-care is actually found by recognizing the simple pleasurers around us. You’ll discover self-care brings you comradery\, support\, wisdom\, laughter\, sympathy\, empathy\, and joy. You’ll come away after learning how to fold a little folder. Also\, you’ll receive some pocket-sized lists of simple pleasures. \nTreat yourself to some self-care on February 25. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About The Speaker\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Leigh Owen is a connector.
