The Momentous Leap Series- Thriveable Transformation in the 21st Century: Day 1

Good morning world and Medium friends! Today I am beginning a 48-part series on thriveable transformation in the 21st Century, excerpted from my book of the same title: “The Momentous Leap- Thriveable Transformation in the 21st Century: Healing Ourselves, Healing our Planet”.
