Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be truly empowered, happy, and in the flow? Are you waiting for your life circumstances to change so that you can find out? What if you've got it backwards? The truth is that you already have everything you need to create the life you were born to live. Join Sharon and the members of the Crossroads Chapter for an experiential workshop that will show you how to gently shift your internal energies to a new way of being ... and a more powerful perspective.

The evening will also include an office products vendor expo and time for networking. For more information, contact Diane Souza CAP at souza@masstech.org or Marie (Gerry) Brunell, CAP-OM at mgbrunell@comcast.net.
