What a year it was for me! On the business side, I was able to kick it up notch with both businesses, become a star seller on Etsy, do my first craft fair, grow my community, take classes and get a clear idea of what I want to do with my future. In my personal life, I had another baby, healed from some trauma, and nurtured a lot of relationships that are important to me. There were a lot of emotional ups and downs, a lot of new connections made, and a lot of really exciting developments.
There were also a lot of posts on this blog, sharing information that I hope was valuable, helpful and empowering. Before getting into everything I’d like to tackle this year, I thought I’d do a quick review of what I shared in 2022.
