January is half over
We’re off and running in 2021. The holidays are behind us and work looms large. I’ve experienced a lot of change (as we all have) in the last 12 months. I’ve never been one to turn away from change. I wouldn’t say I always look forward to it, but there is a welcome turning of the page feeling that comes with new challenges. Here’s to keeping that feeling alive and letting it push me along towards the goal.
