At the beginning of 2020, we heard all about clear vision in 2020. As the year progressed, many including myself were ready to throw the whole year away. And while I still agree 2020 has brought about many challenges, I believe this year was a year of gaining a clearer vision. In the midst of 2020, we learned the things that mattered most, we learned to prioritize. We valued our time with family and friends and found new ways to communicate with one another. We learned just how precious life was and that it was not guaranteed. The same people that started this year’s journey with us are not here…

The Gift That Keeps Giving
This year has indeed been one for the books. We could all write a list of what didn’t go as planned this year. I’ve been in a mood of thanksgiving lately. The more I think about the fact that many started out this year but are no longer here, I begin to see life in a different way. I’m learning to focus on what I do have instead of what I wish I had.

I don’t remember how far I got before I was “too sleepy” to drive and my mom had to take over. LOL. Fast forward, I went to college 3.5 hours away, then…

Beauty in the Pivot
This morning I got up and I went back and forth on whether I should go for a bike ride. I hadn’t ridden my bike all week. I truly didn’t feel like going, but something told me to push anyway. My initial thought was it was too late in the day and it would therefore be too hot to go (yes, it’s in the 80s here, sigh), since I didn’t get up early and go, but I went anyway. Well of course when I went outside and the sun was beaming on me, I said to myself, “was this a good idea?” Lol. Needless to say I went on riding…
