Something really big is on the horizon and it is fueled by love, generosity, and gratefulness.

We often ask for a map to guide our way.

But what good does the map do?

We are not even sure where we are going.

Mid Life Celebration has prepared a life compass.

Because where we are heading is more important than how we travel.
