Ardith Goodwin has opened her new community called the Push Past Ordinary Society for Creative Dreamers!  It is a gathering site for creatives of all type to support each person's journey to becoming their different--creatively.  I feel privileged to be a member of Ardith's Leadership Group and seeing her vision that I heard about early in 2021--come to such beautiful fruition and that will continue to blossom and grow.  If your interest is peaked and you want more information, visit https://www.ardithgoodwin.com/push-past-ordinary-society Note:  You may have to copy the link, removing the period, in order to get to the website.  There you can also send Ardith Goodwin and email, if you want to explore the community further.
