First off, Happy 2015! I can already feel in my soul that this year is going to be a good one. I've enjoyed taking some time off to celebrate the holiday season with family and friends and am thrilled to be back on the blogging grind. 2014 was a year for so much growth and learning. However, before we move on to goals, resolutions, and hopes for the new year I thought it might be fun to look at what happened on the blog in 2014.

So, in 2014 I...

I cannot believe that another year has come to a close. During the week between Christmas and New Years I always get into what I like to call my 'end-of-the-year-funk.' I get oddly emotional about the passing of another year and about the changes ahead. However, I must say that 2013 was pretty rad.
