2019 – GO.

Go. Two simple letters make up my word for 2019, and I’m honestly so excited about this word.  There is, of course, the basic meaning behind it (literally “to go”), but I’m hoping that this year “go” will mean so much more. This year will be one of physical travel, but also a year of……

Grow in Grace – 2018

Hello friends! It seems like it’s been a lifetime since I last wrote, and in truth, it has quite possibly been one of the longest years of my life.
