Welcome to Among the Lilies.

This is a show for ladies who are tired of pretending and are ready to be real.

I'm your host, Cameron Frad, and in today's episode, I want to wish you a happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

This is New Year's Eve.

As you are listening to this,

I am on a plane with my two little girls flying to be with some of y'all in Phoenix, Arizona,

at the SLS conference put on by Focus. Super excited. I will be doing a live recording there with

Kristina Everett. If you are thinking, oh, I really want to listen to that, but I won't be there.

Don't worry, because we'll tape it and I'll put it up on here later on.

So look forward to that.

But in today's episode, I reflect over the last year and look forward to the next year

and just chat things out with my wonderful husband, Matt Frad.

And it's good.

We do a lot of Q&A from patrons.

So thank you so much to all of my Patreon members,

as well as Matt's patrons over at Pines with Aquinas.

And we're just answering your questions and just reflecting on this year.

So I hope you had a really wonderful 2019 and happy 2020. Enjoy the show.

Tell the fine folks about the drink that I just made for you. Do you know what it is?

It is delicious. It has ginger beer maybe, yeah? Yes. And lime and yumminess. And gin. And gin. Oh, I didn't see that coming. Yeah, gin. I hope you guys are excited. I feel like, you know, we grew up, right, and people talked a lot about New Year's resolutions. I don't know about you, Cammy, but I've been noticing a lot more people lately have been putting out articles and videos saying things like, why you shouldn't make a New Year's resolution. And I think that's just clickbait. I think you should totally make a New Year's resolution if you want, and I think that's super cool, because we want to grow and become better people and holier people.

And there's something about the New Year that just makes that seem like we can really start over.
