Another year, another word. Actually, I had decided not to choose a word this year partly because I’ve been thinking about moving away from having a website. So, this is a heads up to follow me on Facebook and Instagram, which might become the main platforms I use to communicate…
It’s January 6, 2022. Maybe I’m just weary, but I haven’t felt like choosing a word for the year or writing about it. The news has been filled with the horrible events of January 6, 2021, and it’s been hard to find something positive to fill my thoughts. Fortunately today…
