Happy Stress Less Week Gauchos! To celebrate, our meeting this week focused on self worth and learning to accept ourselves for the abilities and personalities we have. We had a great discussion about how other people can make us feel “enough” and the last time we felt that way, and had an amazing activity of bouquet making and eating some pizza. Thanks to everyone that came. See you all next week!
