//28// This year has presented so differently than my expectations-I can tell you that for free. I am so incredibly grateful for the people who have pushed me to be my best and who have helped me to see the peaks when I’ve been lost in the valleys. This year may I give back to the people who have poured into me- who have smiled me into smiling, and who have loved me into loving. The people who have kindled my creative mind and inspired my drive.
