Heart-warming emails, notes, tweets, calls that remind me of why I do this: too many too count
Best Moments of My year:
#1 – Publishing my book! I am still so happy that I committed to that project and made it happened this year.
#2 – Meeting so many blog and newsletter readers in person this year. Whether it was for coffee while I was traveling, at conferences, or at events around Vancouver, it is always amazing to connect with you all in person.
#3 – Swimming with sea turtles! This was so amazing. I was a little nervous at a first, but once we were out in the ocean and saw a very peaceful turtle swimming by, I was hooked.
