Blogiversary: Goals Coming Up

Can you believe this November made 10 years of blogging? I can’t. What started as an ideal from friends and family has turned into a full business. Goes to show you that something small can grow.  Oh what a ride it has been. From the uncertainty to the confidence this has been truly a work of art. I love how far this blog has come. More blogs telling it like it is. You will see more vulnerability and making this into a true community. Thank you for all your continued support. From my tribe who came out and showered me with love and support-thank you.
