2017 - A Sneaky Look Back

2017 - A Sneaky Look Back

I told myself a few weeks ago that I wouldn't be writing this post. However as I watch the sun set on 2017 for the last time I just can't help but remember the last 365 days because in contrast to last year, 2017 has been a corker of a year for me! I'm not going to bore you with words today, instead I'm sharing my favourite moments from each month of 2017....

2017 has seen monumental changes for me in life and although not easy at times, I did it and didn't give in. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone - so thank you to all of my family and friends who have supported me and encouraged me to chase my dreams.

I've met people who have restored my faith in humanity and have inspired me to be a better version of myself - I thank you for opening my eyes to the person I want to be.

I will head into 2018 full of optimism and excitement about the adventures to be had and new friends to be made. Anything can happen and anything is possible. Happy New Year folks!
