2014 was an awful year for a lot of good people. Hell, let’s be honest. It was an awful year in general. If you had a great year last year, this is not meant to undermine you in any way. Just know you are probably the minority in that. From bubbling racial tensions to clearer and clearer lines being drawn in the sand between the have and have-nots, few people I know look back on 2014 positively. Add to that the numerous problems we all (may have) faced in our personal lives, and it really wasn’t an easy year. Yet here we stand, in 2015. We can scoff that the actual year change means little and has little significance, but you know what, it actually does. It marked another 365 days we survived, got out of bed, faced our lives, battled our demons, and that deserves a hand shake, a hug, or a pat on the back. Thing is, as the year winded down, I figured out something about my own self and the somewhat trying year I faced. As you read on this will all make more sense and hopefully ignite something in you, too.
