Personal Update

— 🌶️Already off to a good start for the year for me. My goals not to do with business are to do more art, and to read more books. So far, I have finished a book I started late last year, and started a new painting. It’s a good start, now to keep the momentum. Maybe I should take some of the advice I give to clients lol to help reinforce these new goals, I’m only human after all.
