“As we are winding down 2022, many of us are reflecting on all the different life experiences that took place this year. There were births and deaths, engagements/marriages and separations/divorces. There were job promotions and job losses. There were business start-ups and closures. There were happy times and there were sad times. There were wins and there were losses. I can go on and on, but one thing I know for sure, there is a time and a season for everything. I know that even with all the ups and downs that I faced this year, I am so grateful to still be here!”

We’ve been hearing people talking about their new year’s resolutions and others talking about being intentional, but what’s the difference? I’ll share with you some a couple of definitions and then my view on where I stand. Merriam-Webster defines resolution as the act of analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones; the act of answering; the act of determining. Freedictionary.com defines intentional as done deliberately; done on purpose; planned, weighed, or estimated in advance.
