Making Priorities a Priority

It’s been awhile since I sat down and took stock of my priorities. I feel like I’ve been swept up by life’s demands and have done little to anchor myself.

When I think about all the things I want to do, all the places I want to see and all the people I want to meet—I lose sight…

I thought about it for a minute, and there are only three people who know about my personal and professional goals – my best friend, my mister and my dad.
