Happy New Year! I have been completely inactive o Happy New Year!

I have been completely inactive on here this year just because I have not made it a priority. Any spare time I've had outside of running a house, helping with our family business, and being a mother, I have tried to spend writing pieces and uploading to In Other Words. Despite only sporadically uploading, there are more readers visiting In Other Words than ever before, which I am so delighted about. I uploaded a piece every week for almost 2 years so there is a decent back log of writing, ranging pretty widely in topic. 

This year I plan to continue writing and will be uploading a lot more regularly. I hope to expand on In Other Words and I hope that those who enjoy it will continue to do so. This year has really thought me the value of everything I have been studying over the past 3 years. When difficulties come knocking, we need to be ready and be sure-footed. 

Wishing you all a healthy and a happy 2021!🥳

A look at the cardinal virtue of Fortitude.

Fortitude is one of the cardinal virtues that most of us probably believe we understand. It is often called courage, strength, endurance-the facing of fears. But as ever, when discussed as a virtue, it becomes multifaceted. What is true and virtuous fortitude?
.
The pieces I've written on Prudence and Temperance are also up on In Other Words.

I hope you gain something useful from your visit to In Other Words,

Times are difficult at the moment. Unsettling and Times are difficult at the moment. Unsettling and disorienting. Now more than ever we should focus on centring ourselves. The whole point of In Other Words is to gather and explore helpful and meaningful ideas. These ideas help us through difficult times and encourage self development. Now more than ever it's obvious to me that this is the most noble and worthwhile endevour. Shut out the noise, all of it, and focus on fixing yourself.
