The starting of a new year gives us the perfect time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the opportunies that lie ahead. So much has happened this year – a promotion at my day job that has meant more hours, more responsibilities, and working towards a new certification; my nephew turning one year old; and learning that I have a new nephew on the way. This next year will be a busy year full of personal growth and exciting events! Along with my personal and professional goals, I have plans for my creative pursuits as well. But first, let’s recap 2016…
