2022, A Reflection

In January of last year, I set my intentions. I had plans. I had new goals. New dreams. I wrote down everything I wanted to accomplish—personal, financial, creative, all of it. I was searching for peace, though. I felt I had to steal time for myself and was stretched....

Recovery Discovery

Happy New Year, my friends!  I hope that the holiday season was good for each of you. For January, we’ve been given the theme “Recovery”.  Recovery is defined as (via Oxford Languages):  1. a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength ...
