2015 owes me nothing.
I am truly overwhelmed by all the blessings God showered upon me this year.
This is not to say that 2015 was an easy year. It was not.
This spring I suffered several health issues that required so many doctor visits the receptionist at my doctor’s office joked about giving me a key to the place.
This summer the smile I wore at the Bloganista Mini-Con was a mask, hiding indescribable pain because the day before the conference someone I love dearly committed suicide.
And this fall I prepared to completely shut down See Jane Write because I had decided that the work was just too much.
But I changed my mind. And I changed my mind because of you. I changed my mind because I am committed to helping you become the author of your own life.
I’m not sharing these things because I want pity. I’m sharing because I want you to see that even when your world is falling apart you can still succeed in the end.
And I believe that joy is a choice. So as I look back at 2015, I choose not to dwell on adversity and trials. I choose to focus on accomplishments and triumphs.
