“There are people less qualified than you, doing the things you want to do because they simply decided to believe in themselves. PERIOD.” I read this quote some time ago and didn’t really pay any attention. Then it rolled through my Instagram feed again this week and I stop, dropped and rolled.  I had a…

This is a little late but, HAPPY NEW YEAR.  I hope that 2019 is off to a great start.  It’s a new year, a time for revelation, a  new beginning and opportunity to get it right.  YAY…for everything new. I started the year off without any resolutions but with the idea that this would be…
