Cori over at Olive to Run shared a fantastic idea on her blog last week that I wanted to take part in. Cori chose one word to focus on and center her year around. I loved that idea, so thought I’d share my one word. In 2014, I will be bold. I will take chances […]
Faith.
Faith noun 1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something 2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
