To Whomever is Reading This: Thank you. I know it might not *seem* like I'm appreciative for each of you, but I am. I am, I am, I am. You guys who follow and read and comment along are the reason I continue to do this. Without your support I would have given up years ago... I've been able to connect with so many wonderful people since starting this blog and I don't think I'd be as fulfilled in my life without you all. So thank you for making 2017 another great year. I'm so excited to see where we go from here. 

Goals for Next Year: I want to do a more in-depth blog post about this in the New Year but...
-Get back to being great at emails (I've fallen off)
-Plan ahead for when I know life will get busy
-Be more active with my followers
-Continue to grow the blog
-Save more!
