I had so many high expectations for this year but just like 2016, it has let me down. I experienced another sudden and traumatic death from someone extremely close to me in my family. I have pushed through more trials and tribulations than I would have liked to experience and while we’re at it, let’s just put my finances in rice too. It feels like I have spent the last two years going through hardships and I have caught myself saying “I am tired of always going through something” on…

I’m constantly asking, “Wasn’t January just last month?” People are usually busy living life during the year and rarely take a step back to see if they are accomplishing things they said they would at the beginning of the year. That is okay! Life happens, things happen. There…

I’ve never been the type to ask for help. I honestly hate asking for help or needing anyone’s help for that matter.
