Welcoming the New Year with a new post!

There’s no right way to start a new blog so I’ll just get on with how grateful I am that 2018 was my year. The previous year made me appreciate everything that I have – be it people, things, and/or experiences. Coming in with 0 expectations made it all worthwhile, the things I was told, …
