Happy Birthday!

Can you believe it’s already been a year since I launched this blog! Not only can I not believe how much it has grown thanks to loyal readers like you, but I can hardly believe how much I have grown! This blog has been paramount to my growth in nearly every way imaginable, especially emotional and spiritual, and I am filled with so much gratitude toward what started out as an idea and has grown to a life-changing part of my life.

In many ways, I planted a seed a year ago. What has grown has exceeded every expectation. Thank you for being a part of that growth through all the ways you have supported me and this blog this past year. And thank you for being a part of its future growth through your continued reading, support, sharing of ideas, and sharing of these posts.

In honor of the blog’s birthday, below are the Top 10 Most Popular Posts from its first year (counting backward):
