As we grow closer to the end of the year, it is a great time to reflect on our successes and the other things that we can learn from. I believe that it was Søren Kierkegaard who said that Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Speaking of living life forward, there are some great ways to get out and live a beautiful life in St. Louis this month!
Of course, I have a few suggestions for you to enjoy it. I hope that you'll join me!
All the best. -Nate
