Remember those early days of dating? When you’re fascinated by this new person, soaking up every morsel of new information as you untangle the mystery of who they are? When you excitedly anticipate the next time you’ll get to see them? And just when you thought you had them pegged,...

Whether you're someone who gets swept up in the New Year New Me mentality, sees the turning of the calendar as an opportunity to reflect and realign, or thinks the whole thing is overhyped, growth and change are a part of life.

Intentional growth and change pave the path toward a better life...

I am not known for my sense of fashion. I never have been, but it's admittedly gotten worse the past few years as I've worked from home and embraced comfort. Some friends tease me about my "party cardy" - I am definitely a fan of the cardigan - while my blunter friends are a little more...

"You don't understand me!"

"I do understand you. I just don't agree with you."

Dramatically rolling her eyes through tears, she looks at me. "She just doesn't get it. It's like she doesn't even care." The teen doesn't see the pained look of defeat on her mother's face.

It's hard to believe that it's already Thanksgiving! Maybe it's just me, but time seems to be flying by faster and faster this year.

I tend to be non-traditional with holidays. Who I spend them with and how I honor them varies year to year, but Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorites. I...
