Sacrifices

February 7, 2021January 27, 2021 Christine John

Last week I wrote about making sacrifices in order to reach your goals. In this blog post, I decided to write a poem about sacrifices. A few years ago, I wrote a poem about making sacrifices. I thought about all the things we sacrifice to develop ourselves, to help others, to make more money and to be successful.

December 30, 2020December 31, 2020 Christine John

I’m sure that we’re all ready to say goodbye to 2020. This was the year of world-changing events.

This is definitely not the normal way we would celebrate Christmas. Although the Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to change the way we celebrate this festive holiday, one…
