A Season of Waiting

BECOMING More Series,  In Difficult Times,  Live Your Joy Story
The word of the day on my dictionary app said JOMO. I wasn’t familiar with the term. But deeper reflection would reveal why I should become familiar with its benefits. It’s the acronym for “the joy of missing out.” I knew its more popular opposite, FOMO, “the fear of missing...
