Although the holidays are a time to be thankful and count our blessings, many of us are hit with the harsh realities of scraping our pockets to put smiles on our family members faces and gifts under the tree, mourning the loss and continuous reminder of loved ones gone home, and even enduring a few break ups.
This holiday season should be one to remember. One to spark change. As we prepare to enter into a new decade, let's not sweat the small stuff. Step out of 2019 with a new stride. Whomever coined the phrase, "A girl who is doing big things cannot let small things get to her," was spot on.
