Although 2014 was full of many changes, it was a good year for me. I have to admit that the beginning of this year was kind of rocky for me for many reasons. It seemed like many of my friends were moving away all at the same time, I was having several doubts about my career and life goals, and just feeling very stuck. I started this blog as a way to keep me from becoming a recluse, like I usually do when I’m feeling anxious about life, and it has definitely helped me with that. I’m a very private person and have always been afraid to put my work out there out of fear of what others might say, but your kind words and support have been very encouraging to me in my efforts to be more adventurous. Thanks to this blog, in the past year I went on trips to Austin and Portland, worked on many creative projects, started working on developing my personal style, opened up an Etsy Shop, and had an outlet for me to express my thoughts.

I have many goals for this blog in 2015, and I’m very excited to work towards accomplishing them. One of my goals is to use this blog to grow my skills set; I want to become a better photographer, learn new crafts, master the basics of coding HTML and CSS, and work towards better optimizing and monetizing this blog. I also want to diversify the type of content that appears on this blog; although I love putting together outfit posts, I also want to work on more DIY, decor, recipe, travel and inspiration posts in the upcoming year. Basically, I want to truly make this the lifestyle blog that it is meant to be.

Again, thank you so much for your continued support and Happy New Year!

xoxo,

Helen
