At the end of 2017 I set a goal of writing ONE BLOG POST PER WEEK in 2018. This seemed pretty daunting at the time, but (assuming I don’t forget to write a post next week) I did it! 52 posts in one year! Given that, it seemed like a good time to share some of my favorite posts — and lessons and moments — from the year. Thanks for coming along for the ride. [Next week I’ll be sharing some goals and plans for 2019]
