The world has been a strange place to live these past 12 months. Many of us have had to make adjustments in ways we never foresaw. We've all grown through the challenges of 2020, some of us experienced overwhelming heartaches, others experienced breathtaking miracles, much like any year. But 2020 wasn't like any year, certainly not for the majority of the world. A pandemic, racial crises, and political unrest all seem to have collided in a never-ending cycle of BREAKING NEWS that left many of us exhausted and seemingly less jarred by events that would've shocked us to our core a few years ago.  2020 has been a lot. However, if you've read some of my posts this year, you'd know that I refuse to call this year a terrible year. One of the biggest lessons I've learned in 2020 is that nothing is all bad nor all good. The pandemic won't end when the clock strikes midnight in a few days; neither will racial injustices or political corruption. I don't know what's waiting for the world and I in the new year, but I do believe a thorough examination of this year will beget a perspective to see life as a journey with conflicts, triumphs, and lulls.  So before the clock strikes I would like to share the lessons I've learned each month this year. 

I've been away longer than I intended or anticipated. But I'm back to my flow and routine after some major transitions that took place in November. With mere weeks reminding in this formidable year I want to take the opportunity to reflect on my November and share some things I'm excited about for the remainder of 2020.
