Light
The world can be so dark, and we should all keep your LIGHT on to drive away the darkness!

Courage
Even though I trust in the path that my ancestors have guided me on, I want to continue tohave the courage to walk firm on that path no matter what storms may come.
Talia Mota, PhD MPH

Riveting
For 2024, I don’t want to only occur— I want to arrive, and I want to show up in a riveting way.
I want to leave an epic impact so that if you’ve experienced me, I want you to be left intrigued, enchanted, and even captivated by our interaction.

Grateful
This past year has offered many experiences, both difficult and celebratory, that encouraged reflection.
The state of mind I find myself in after reflecting on the past year is an overwhelming sense of gratitude for being given opportunities to succeed, fail, learn, and gain perspective.

Next
It’s the power of possibilities. What do I plan to do next?
What is next in my world of creating self-healing education for people of all ages? Next is the driving force to keep life and work going!
MARGOT WISHES EVERYONE A FABULOUS 2024!
