Happy New Year friends!! I can’t believe it’s actually here but wow am I thankful… 2018 was a ride of emotions for me, including ups and downs, and I’ve never looked more forward to a new year starting! This year, instead of my typical blog post recapping my year, I figured I’d write a letter to 2018, as a way to reflect and share my feelings.
Before I share, I want to say: THANK YOU. Thank you to each and every one of you who have been following for 3 years, or 30 days. It honestly means more than you will ever know! I love chatting with you on Instagram every day and am thankful for the kind, uplifting, and caring community we have built. So, here we go…
Dear 2018,
I appreciate all of the lessons you taught me this year, but wow were they hard. You brought me a year that I never expected, but am viewing it all as an important learning experience that will only allow me to grow. Learning to understand myself, learning to understand others, and learning to understand life and what I want and need out of it. I learned. Although it was challenging, I’m still grateful. Grateful for every opportunity that came my way in the blogging world, grateful for 16 smiling kiddos every day in my classroom, grateful for the positive and loving people I surround myself with in my personal life, and mostly grateful for my health.
So, off to 2019 I go with an open heart and an open mind. I’m ready to see the change and growth that will transpire this year, because I know it’s there and know it’s coming. I’m confident that next year is going to be better than the last. I can only hope that this time, you are the year for me. Let’s do this 2019…I’m ready for you! Cheers.
Love, me
XO
