Back in 2018, I posted about My Journey Toward a Healthier Lifestyle. I had just hit the big 3-0 and had a huge wakeup call – I was the biggest I’d ever been in my life, and I was miserable.

But, I spent a lot of time this year focusing on […]

Looking back at last year’s resolutions Reading resolutions Read more than last year – I *kind of* did this. I only read 75 in 2019, and I read 95 last year. So a little more, but I still […]
