Hypertrace Newsletter August 2021

Are you taking enough time to appreciate yourself and what you got?

I started this new meditation routine last week about appreciating what you have and being grateful for people in your life and it feels really good. Also took a small vacation to replenish my soul and to be honest, I am back with pretty good ideas and fresh perspectives around a lot of things in my life and work.

Talking about fresh things, you might be wondering what’s fresh in the Hypertrace world? Let’s talk about it, shall we?
