Each new year brings with it the opportunity to evaluate the paths our lives have taken, and make certain that we are embracing the possibility of wellness within ourselves. In its broadest sense, wellness is being fully integrated and appreciative of all of the gifts—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual—that we have been given. Today we speak about the pursuit of inner wellness with bestselling author Kate Braestrup, and Vivian Franck, a former nun who wrote a book entitled “Forever Becoming”.
