San Francisco Bay Area

I recently added a new book to my nightstand "to read" pile: A Year of Saying Yes by Shonda Rhimes. Shonda Rimes committed to saying Yes for one full year. "First came the terrifying public Yeses - delivering the commencement at Dartmouth...then came the excruciating private Yeses - reevaluating her health and confronting the damaging relationships in her life."

Saying Yes allowed her to "explore, empower, applaud and love her truest self." It allowed her to take advantage of a larger world of possibilities.
