Finding your YOU that leads to TWO
Remember last January? 2020 was supposed to be your year.
The year that would be different.
The year that was supposed to give way to your dreams, your plans.
It was supposed to be the year you met him, or the year you finally left him, or the year you went back to school, the year you got that promotion, the year you quit your job, the year you stood up to him, the year you stopped letting what everyone thinks of you control so much of your life.Continue Reading
Every New Year we’re given another chance.
To do something different. To clean the slate. To start fresh. To begin again.
And every year we resolve to do exactly this. To do things differently, to turn over a new leaf and do everything we didn’t do before.

And so in this week between Christmas and the New Year, we’re filled with a time of reflection of what was and didn’t work and what will soon be the opportunity for everything to be fresh and new and different again.
For those of us without plans for the New Year, or at least New Year’s Eve, we scramble to start making some.

And the coming New Year with it’s New Year’s resolutions will give us that chance to do exactly that.Continue Reading
