This might be my most important episode. Or at least the most important one for 'me'. In the spirit of Lent, what will you give up? But more importantly, what will you ad? And how does that all tie into love? I'll give you a hint-loving yourself.

As we start a new year and begin making goals and resolutions, be kind and compassionate with yourself. Set goals that are sustainable and attainable and remember to keep the Lord involved in your goal setting.
