Sharon is a board certified plastic surgeon and creator of FaceBook Female Entrepreneurs Group in which she connects with like-minded physicians who branch out of medicine to do more.

It is not to diminish pain and suffering of other groups that have been touched negatively in last year.
Meditation no. 3 - poetry.
Did you know that many meditation apps started including poetry in their menu? Poetry can be so many different experiences for each of us.

I am always hunting for more relevant or beautiful poetry collections.
