Bringing in the new year with a fresh Vivyd Magazine article for you. Yep, I am still writing, if nothing else. Hope you enjoy!

https://vivydmagazine.com/articles/f/how-did-it-go-the-year-in-review

Here is one last tip I didn’t include in the article. I seen this idea on Instagram and I loved it.

I’m sold on this one. I already have 3 things to put on paper. Now I just want some cute paper to write them on 🤦🏾‍♀️.

This year I am going to ask a favor of you. If this blog post or any other post, past or future, resonates with you, please share it with someone else. Someone who you feel may benefit from this content. This would be greatly appreciated. If you are not well and whole, let’s make a plan to get there this year. Much love 🧡💚

It is the last day of 2021. Parts of this year flew by and other parts dragged on so slowly. I lost parts of it completely. And other parts are vivid in my mind. The one good thing is I take pictures. Pictures that allows me to recall places, events and other things. Here is parts of my past year in pictures and quotes.

Thank you all for rocking this year out with me. Being patient as I went through my own personal dramas and growths. Tuning back in after I took months off. Believing in me and encouraging me. For any part you have played in my life, I thank you. I appreciate you. I love you. Be well and whole. Much love 🧡 💚
