035: 19 Things I've Learned This Year

As we get ready to close out the year, I like to look back at the memories, lessons and events that stand out to me, especially as I look to the future. There is so much I am looking forward to in the next year, but before we dive into a new decade, I wanted to take some time to acknowledge the goodness that took place in the last 12 months. The journey wasn't what I originally pictured, but the process of Crafting a Life We Love can look so different than we initially think.
