Psalm 127:2 (NIV)
“In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat– for he grants sleep to those he loves.”
It’s a New Year and those resolutions can really become a taskmaster. Listen in to this episode as Denise interviews authors Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory to discuss their new book, “You Don’t Have to Try So Hard: Ditch Expectations and Live Your Own Best Life”. Maybe achieving our goals is not so hard, after all.
