When is the last time you truly smiled? I'm not talking about one of those plastered grins that comes out with the camera. Nor am I referencing the half-smile you give when explaining how you are truly doing. I'm talking about those big, ear-to-ear grins, the ones that you feel from head to toe! We … Continue reading fully dressed / reasons to smile

After the toasts are cheers-ed + the ball has dropped, how can one begin a new year well? I am on a journey to learn … Continue reading starting well
