“Because the sparkle sometimes may fade, the sass doesn’t have to.” – What I’ve been chanting to myself the last week.

My Words of the Year: Accomplish, Thrive, Healthy, and Serenity
At the end of every year, I sit with myself, a messy stack of notes from the past years’ works and things I wanted to remember and then I quietly ask what I want my next year to look like. Not in a dramatic reinvention way. It’s more subtle and steady, in a way that…
