Every year I pick a word that will drive the upcoming months. A word that will help frame the year and my day-to-day life. In 2019, I picked the word “joy” . And, that truly was a powerful driving word. I kept that word at the back of […]
Every once in a while, I check out the urban dictionary to see what new phrases are coming into our world. I also look at Twitter trends to get a grasp of what’s the new vocabulary, no matter how fleeting. I like being in the know. I even […]
