I have some things to look back on and reflect on from 2021...then moving on to 2022
I thought I would answer the following questions to reflect on the past year.
1. What is the most important lesson you learned this year?
The most important lesson I learned this year is to keep moving forward and that my family is the most important aspect of my life. I need to spend as much time with them as I can.
The best thing that happened this year is that I began working with this wonderful lady who owns a small online crafting store. After closing my store in 2021 we became close and I am so grateful to be able to be a part of her business.
3. What challenges did you overcome?
I have overcome the challenge of beginning a new health journey. It was difficult at times but I have lost 47lbs as of today.
