Meeting Theme, Word of the Day, Definition, and Quotes:

Theme: Tiny Habits

WOTD: Shift

Definition: Many definitiions depending on how you choose to use the word. In correlation with our theme, Tiny Habits, I chose the following: 

                  ” a slight change in position, direction or tendency”

Quote:  It’s not only moving that creates new starting points. Sometimes all it takes is a subtle shift in perspective, an opening of the mind, an intentional pause and reset, or a new route to start to see new options and new possiblities.
