In my last post, I talked about the intentions I've set for my year. One of them was to listen to my intuition and follow my gut. There are a few aspects of personal development that I've felt pulled to over the last few months. I can't get these things out of my mind, I … Continue reading What my gut is telling me right now

Why I’m not setting goals this year, and what I’m doing instead
We're a few weeks into the new year, so I've had some time to really think and settle into a plan. I think I've come up with something sustainable and not discouraging.
