New Year, New Horizons: The power of a Fresh start!
My life has been a rollercoaster since 2016. There were moments when I felt like I was barely hanging on a thread. I was watching everything around me fall apart and for a moment it felt like I was to blame. I hit rock bottom more times than I can remember, times I realized those were who were supposed to have my back and felt alone...then saw who stayed with me this whole time. In moments like these, it made me realize how far I have come on my journey, and how much self-discovery I have learned over the years. The loss of betrayal came with new strength and determination. It reshaped my thinking about the meaning of trust, friends, and family. So I'm going to make it happen this year.

Fifty and Fearless
Every year on December 31 the clock strikes midnight and we think about what we want next. In years past for me it might’ve been a weight loss or running goal. Perhaps it was to write more. Read one book a month; start a blog. Land that part-time job at the art studio I had my eyes on and reconnect to my art. While these have all been monumental goals through the years, this year feels very different. This year I’m hitting a milestone in my journey.
