In a recent journaling exercise that I was working through, I was asked: “What do you want more than anything in the world?” At first, I was stumped … I couldn’t think of anything material that I wanted or needed.

Family Updates

“The Things I Wish I Made More Time For” Challenge
I’m not sure if you noticed or not, but I took a little break from 21-day challenges in July and August.
