While 2020 crawled along like a wounded animal to the new year, this year seems to be the opposite. We&#8217;re bounding ahead on the calendar and everyday life is slowly becoming more and more normal. I&#8217;ve been quiet around here since late February for a few reasons. First, I was doing some reflective soul work during Lent. Second, I narrowed my focus to working on a manuscript and facilitating a 12-week writers&#8217; group. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve learned so far this year on the journey. I feel hopeful and see good things ahead. Optimism is having its moment in the sun in my life right now. It feels great. The only catch is that I had to be willing to change my mind and revamp my habits. It was a small price to pay. I&#8217;m eager to see what new lessons lie ahead as the year continues. Here&#8217;s hoping you experience the same. With Love and Gratitude,"}
