“Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett One can strive to make changes in their life at any time of year, but a new year seems to bring with it the promise of another chance to do this year better. My head has been pinging around like a pinball game. Remember those? So…
Putting a brave face on is neither good or bad. It helps us get through challenges and feel a bit braver inside. But then what?

Now, where can i get an amo belt? Do ya think it comes in a size 14?
