2016 Review & New Year Resolutions
I feel a bit guilty writing this post. A lot of people are marking down 2016 as the worst year ever. But in my personal bubble, it has been pretty awesome. Maybe my best year ever? It has been a year of focusing. Which is quite out of character. I tend to get bored...
How To Give To Charity Effectively And Efficiently
