Waking up early in the morning is hard- not to mention waking up at all; however, there's something special about waking up early in the morning- You get to experience the freshness that comes with a new day. The birds are going crazy singing their songs, there's loads of fresh scents in the breeze, and there's always this crisp, new feeling in the air that disappears as mid-day draws closer. There's just something about waking up and experiencing the first fruits of the newness of a new day that's all the reward for forfeiting a couple extra hours of sleep.
With that, here's to welcoming in a fresh, new start to a new year of 'Cliff Notes.' After a month of rebranding, redesigning and revamping the blog with a new look and new mission, I'm excited to be getting back to writing and inspiring others to write, as well. I'm hoping the new look, feel and direction brings in the same feelings that a new day brings in. I'm hoping readers can experience the grace, freshness and uniqueness that each new day brings within each new post, and I'm hoping 'Cliff Notes' can start to spark more storytelling, more creativity and more community.
Take a look around, enjoy and look for something new each week.

Cliff's Note: Starting fresh feels great. It's after the freshness is gone that the real work begins.
