I was going to include some goal talk in my Monthly Medley, but decided I wanted to dedicate a whole post to it instead. We're past the halfway point of January and it's unfortunately highly likely that New Year's resolutions are beginning to be broken or forgotten. That's okay. A goal's beginning doesn't have to …
Guess who's back?! I never intended to step away from the blog forever, but I definitely needed a break to gather myself and my thoughts. I have a general idea of what direction I want to take the blog in, however, I'm leaving the pressure off of myself to post on a certain day or …
