And that's one of the things I always try to say, again, Wonder is not a moment. It's a mindset, it's something we can create.” - Monica Parker “I want people to start using the language of wonder and not shy away from it so that we start sharing this language as something that's pivotal to who we are, it's critical to who we are as humans. It's not just a hobby, it has gravitas. It's how our soul thrives and if we share that with other people, then it helps it grow within us.” - Monica Parker Resources Mentioned: Monica Parker LinkedIn Website: Monica C.
