Jump Start Your New Year

I love New Years and all the optimism and hope that it brings. It causes me to ponder all of the possibilities: Who can I become this year? How can I grow? What can I learn? What can I accomplish? It's simultaneously overwhelming with all its possibilities as well as inspiring.

Winter is Coming!

Hello September

Now that Labor Day is behind us and school is back in session, it seems many are anticipating Fall. A gentle PSA that even though PSL's (pumpkin spice lattes) might be dominating your timeline, Fall doesn't officially start until September 22nd.
