Recently, I’ve noticed a new holiday popping up, Galentine’s Day, and I had no clue what it was or meant.

I learned some truths about myself, which caused me to recognize that a reset was necessary in order for me to go to the next level in my life; spiritually, mentally, professionally, and physically (still working on that part, pray for me lol).
