2019 Recap + 2020 Goals

2019 has been a year of transformation. As I was reading my previous recaps from years prior, I’ve noticed a trend that the last couple of years have been nothing less than chaos. Although this year has brought many trials and losses, it has grown me in ways that I needed. I let go of a lot of toxic friendships and surrounded myself with the people who cheer me on to success. I got married to the man of my dreams who puts my son and I first. I worked hard and hope that all the grind from this past year is able to finally pay off in 2020. Keep reading for my recap and goals for next year!
