Auto Review | 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander AWC
The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander was an excellent companion during my winter break!

Lifestyle | How to Choose a Word of the Year
In my last post, I revealed my 2018 Word of the Year (WOTY).

Spiritual Wellness | Forgiveness + Grace
We often think of forgiveness as something we extend to other people, but how often do we forgive ourselves? How often do we extend ourselves the grace we so generously extend to others?
