I used to roll my eyes when I would see yet another social media post about someone choosing a word for the year. I thought it was silly. How could choosing a word to focus on for an entire year help anyone? But then last year at this time I was so broken and parts… Continue reading Just One Word

New Year, Not New Me
Today is the last day of 2019. In less than three hours, we will cross the boundary between this year and the next.
