2017 Year In Review

This year was an interesting year. I started this blog, I faced some fears, I developed new friendships out of those friendships I got a new best friend. I worked with some amazing brands that is really unheard of in your first year of blogging, I wrote a book, got invited to some cool events. Wow.
Reflecting on the year as I'm writing it felt like not a lot has changed but everything has changed. I can't wait to see what next year holds. Starting this blog again was the best decision I made this year. I didn't realize how much this would change my life. I finally found my passion.
