2020, we all know there are a lot of words to describe it and most of them aren’t great!😳Before we officially put this one in the rearview though, I’m taking some time today to reflect and reallyyyy take it in. The joyful moments, the heartbreaks, the challenges and triumphs.

It was the year...

• We settled into our new home (and then spent even more time there than we thought we would!

• We lost our best friend Scoots — a heartbreak I’m not sure will ever totally heal

• I became an Aunty to Little Squish aka the true light of this year

• My business was hit by the pandemic and we had to rebuild and pivot

• We adopted Benji and got a crash course in being puppy parents

• We got engaged at the lake

• We went on a few camping trips and spent a lot of time at the beach

• We upgraded to a bigger community garden plot

• I had to put a lot of goals and projects on hold to reenvision and refocus

• I pushed myself outside my comfort zone a lot

• We hunkered down even more because of the crazy fire season on the west coast

• We binge-watched more shows than I’d like to admit

• We celebrated a lot of firsts and really soaked in time with family

• We survived a crazy election season

• And I said goodbye to my first business and started a new one

This year was hard. Really freaking hard, but you know what? We got through it one day at a time. And while I know flipping the calendar isn’t going to wipe 2020’s problems away, I’m very much looking forward to a fresh start and moving forward.🥂Cheers to that!
