2015 has been quite a year (to be honest I bet I say that every year)
I wish I had more to say, elegant prose about the past 365 days full of wise reflections and hopes for the future... but the words just aren't flowing. Images are at the forefront of my memory: bright and bustling cities, small towns where my blonde hair was rare as gold, tan legs and freckled cheeks, spreadsheets on screens and of course- airplane tickets. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words so this timeline of snapshots will have to suffice as a way to remember and reflect upon the past. I have grown a lot this year, traveled many miles, embarked on a career path, reconnected with old friends, made new bonds and done countless other things... layers of seemingly insignificant moments and decisions that come together to create a whirlwind year.
