“My biggest accomplishment over the last year has been doing well. Doing well has become a bit of a habit. Being well has required an intentional and joy-centered approach to life when the season of life I am in doesn’t align with the vision for my life I have. Nevertheless, being well, keeping well and living well has brought forth a joy unknown and I am more proud of myself and my life than I have ever been.
