I sit here on a grey, rainy Christmas Eve afternoon, listening to some beautiful classical Christmas music on the Pandora channel. My favorite hymn is “Oh Holy Night.” I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song. I am listening to Christmas music while typing on the computer. This can be fine, but it got me […]
It’s that time of year — time for making resolutions and setting goals for the new year. So are you ready?
