HYPLife
March 2021
KALO MINA! WELCOME BACK!
March is always a solemn month as we prepare for a variety of events. In celebrating Great Lent as well as the Bicentennial Anniversary of Greek Independence we are called upon to reflect on our past and future actions, to honor the sacrifice of generations past and celebrate the gift of freedom we have to pursue our dreams and practice our faith. It’s a good time to take short inventories of your strengths and weaknesses, to take a short course or read a new book to learn more about a topic of interest or a means of self improvement. To this end, we have a few special treats included in this month’s issue!
We invite you to sit with us a while. Grab your coffee and read up on this month’s issue of HYPLife!
As always, our goal is to educate, inspire and empower our readers. Have a question or topic you’d like addressed in a future video or newsletter? Please send your feedback through the chat box at the bottom of the screen or email us.
Enjoy our free monthly newsletter!
Share with friends, family and colleagues!
Best wishes for the month ahead!
