I’m 33. Let that sink in for a moment. Phew.
Okay, so I’ve been chasing big dreams for the last few years and even if it looks like sunshine and rainbows from the outside I’m here to tell it is not. Lots of late nights, lots of waiting to get paid, lots of NO’s, lots of hitting brick walls when trying to come up with new ideas. Live as a blogger and independent contractor is hard.
But I am chasing a dream. The dream to change the world through clothes, words, and community.
Highlights from last year: Celebrating One Year with Wearwell and my first trip to Philly! Visiting RMNP for the first time and annual girls trip this year to Estes Park, 12 year Anniversary with Travis, Colorado Rockies game in September, 5th year participating in Dressember, starting to attend Tuesdays Together once a month, Kendra coming out to visit.
Goals for year 33: re-master my photo skills, make my blog profitable, go full-time, visit more national parks in CO, learn more about sustainable fibers & reduce textile waste.
