Wow, all of you have left such amazing, wonderful comments! I have read each and every one and my smile is so big it hurts my cheeks! ;) It is so nice to know that my feelings resonate with so many people. I'm not a particularly insecure person, but when you're doing something you love like this, and you put it out there for others to see, you become vulnerable. I don't know what it is about turning 30, but as so many of you have mentioned, this sure has been the year where I've found some clarity in regards to what is important, and what is not. We all KNOW what is important...but often times it's very hard to truly LET GO of all that nonsense that holds us back.
I can't thank you enough for all the positive, encouraging comments and stories. There just is just so much negativity out there these days, it feels WONDERFUL to be here and be a part of this little community where people really support each other. :)
