2020 brought us a bag a tricks that none of us expected or could have predicted. it invited us to tap into our faith, strength, endurance, perseverance, resilience, resourcefulness + creativity in new ways. and while it may have been uncomfortable, i'm a firm believer that nothing is for nothing.
with that said, this episode of real matters of the heart, the first and only of the year, serves as a quilt of personal narratives -- wins + wisdom brought to us by the events + experiences this year gave us -- with the hope these words will guide + remind us in future seasons.
thank you to all the contributors for sharing your stories. may they be the soil in which others will plant their seeds of faith + hope.
