Reflection and Anticipation
As I sit here reflecting over the past year…the wins and the losses in preparation of looking ahead to the new year, I’m teary eyed (well I usually am). My year was a year of discovery for me. I truly discovered who I was and the people that mattered the most to me. I discovered…
