My Intentions for 2023

On January 16, 2023

Happy New Year! I don’t like the idea of resolutions so much as setting intentions for the year. Intentions aren’t like goals.

Self-care is nurturing ourselves in the same way we nurture a partner. We are so good at loving on – and caring for – the people around us, be they our […]
