“Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on.” These words from Iyanla Vanzant rang true for us in the last year as we found ourselves dealing with major challenges in our lives. From us, both facing the extreme impact of cancer among close family members to major transitions in the work place, our worlds were shaken in a way that challenged us to push through and lean on faith. Stress became a norm and personal balance was jeopardized, however, we found ourselves stronger than ever as we entered 2020.

As we reflect on the last year and begin a new year, we must acknowledge our blessings not only because of the joyful memories but also because of the challenges that have helped produce growth. In this new season, we are happy to have shared an amazing year with all of you and are excited to continue to offer wonderful conversations, positive vibes, interesting outlooks and inspiring thoughts. Happy New Year!
