LuAnn Nigara and Mona Nahm's Ah-Ha Moments “I just saw people with or without opportunities.” - Mona Nahm “The circumstances that you were in can create that lack of worth, and that lack of esteem, and so, therefore, you don't value yourself and then, therefore, you don't come to a relationship where you expect to be valued. And guess what? When we don't come to a relationship expecting to be valued—we're not.” - LuAnn Nigara “You have got to get the hope going, and the opportunities for enjoyment, so that you can aspire to do the next thing, right?” - LuAnn Nigara “If you're so focused on the difference, you'll never see the similarities.” - Mona Nahm Connect with Mona Nahm  Website Projects 730 Stanyan Projects Projects What’s new with LuAnn Nigara LuAnn University - Registration is now OPEN for the Winter 2024 semester!
