This is the time of year where we look at our past year and forge on to the next. Many make new year’s resolutions. Did you make a list of resolutions for last year? As I look back on last year I am reminded of one of the most growing years of my life. It […]
Christmas can feel like we are spinning plates. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a wonderful time of year, and it’s also a very busy time of year. Through all the busyness, how do you remember your one and only? I just got back from being out of town. Yeah, can you believe I was gone […]
