If you are like me, time is something that always seems like it is in short supply. That doesn’t mean I don’t try to make time or that I’m unorganized.

For many of us, the first week of a new year is an opportunity to reset our lives. We perform brain dumps, create goals, and adopt new habits. We resolve to exercise more and eat less, or improve our health through yoga or meditation. We might even decide it’s the year to seek different…
I thought I’d do an A to Z look at 2020, but honestly, like most of you, I’m tired and just want 2021 to get here. I don’t need fanfare. No glass of wine. No cocktail franks or cheesecake. No countdown to the ball dropping because, after all, what fun is…
