The beginning of the New Year is always my favorite time to go back and reflect on the previous year. Last week, I bared my heart and reflected on 2018 by sharing things that went well, those that need improvement and the lessons I learned through it all in a deeply personal post. As I shared my personal journey of self discovery with you, I was met with the most kind and encouraging responses. You all are truly amazing and I am so grateful for you being the support system I needed to get through it all. <3
Today, I’m sharing my top blog posts of 2018… and this is actually the first time I’ve done this sort of thing so let me know your thoughts. I loved seeing which posts resonated with you last year and I hope to create more of that for you this year!
