My Reverse Bucket List for 2014

 In my last post, I stated I was going on a hiatus and I still intend to do so.  I have so much going on in my life that I can't seem to keep up with blogging.  This has frustrated me and caused me to lose my vision.  I have taken the last few days to review some tips from other bloggers on developing a more "readable" post.  As I was reading a post by a young, yet talented blogger, Dominique Bennett, I received a little inspiration.  Her reflection post, 2014 Reverse Bucket List  led me to write this one.  As I reflected on my year, I realized some of the "reversed bucket list" items I had to be thankful for.  So take a little trip with me as I journey through my past year.


In 2014:

Learned to trust more.  Not even sure if that's what I'm trying to say.  I am a great listener, but tend to keep the stress in my life to myself.  I reached out to my "besties" and it has made a huge difference in my life.
