Resolutions/Happy New Year | Sunday Morning Thoughts
*This post appeared on my original blog on January 4th, 2015 – It has been edited slightly and includes an addendum I cannot believe it’s already the beginning of a new year. I am excited for what 2015 will bring me, and I have a lot of mixed feelings about leaving 2014 behind.

I’d like to start by telling you to think about, reach out to, and express your love for the people you cherish in your lives. This really should be done everyday, as you probably know, but when tragedy strikes in our country or in other places in the world, it really heightens our awareness of how precious and fragile life is. Over 2,000 people have died in the recent earthquake in Nepal, and as I peruse my social media feeds, I learn that people I have crossed paths with know individuals or families who reside and/or work in Nepal, and I can’t imagine the fright and worry they went through waiting for…
