2. Dynamic Women of Faith Conference
I had a wonderful time in Toronto this past Saturday at the Dynamic Women of Faith Conference. I’ll be writing a more detailed reflection of the event in the coming weeks, but it was a beautiful day listening to the other speakers and getting to know some of the participants. I spoke on “Coping With Difficult Losses.”
