It seems like yesterday that you asked … Continue reading How do I put into words?
2018 has begun and I'm sure some of you set out some New Year's resolutions or a word to live by for the year. I wish you everything of the best and hope you fulfill your resolutions. As mentioned in my last post, I have no resolutions, no word, and I don't feel bad about … Continue reading Feeling pressured
