Hello beautiful readers!
Wow! We've made it past the halfway point of 2018! This is crazy! I'm so happy you are all still around and survived Thano's snap (#nerdalert).
The middle of the year can definitely feel like a blur sometimes. We're either caught up with the idea of summer fun or constant work that we forget to look back at all the things we've done in the past six months. "Looking back" shouldn't be saved solely for the end of the year. We should always reflect on our day, week, month, whatever works best for you and not feel overwhelmed.
While we should always think about our accomplishments and the many great places we've visited, we also should look at what didn't work in the first half of the year and see how we can tackle it for the second half. This is where those New Year's Resolutions come into play.
- What worked?
- What didn't work?
- Did you achieve half of your NYR list?
- Is there something you thought you would of done by now that you haven't done yet?
There are two things that automatically come into mind from my personal list of NYR and that is not being more active on my blog (sorry!) and not being more active at the gym.
While they are big on my list, I still don't let them overshadow the many great things I've been able to explore this past six months!
Up to now, I have attended 3 different comic cons, attend Spring Dapper Day at Walt Disney World, visited 15 states, saw my high school friend get married, upon many more fun moments all of which have allowed me to travel over 13,000 miles!!! That is insane! Never did I think I'd be able to travel as much as I have been fortunate enough to do so, but thats what dreaming hard and working harder is all about. So without further ado, I will now share some of my favorite highlights of the year. Enjoy!

And there you have it! A quick visual journal of all the fun things I've done this year. I won't lie, it's hard work being able to do all the things I've done but if you hold on to the dream anything is possible.
I can't wait to see where the second half of the year takes me (or doesn't? My body could use a break hehe).
Where have you gone in the first half of the year? Where do you hope the second half of 2018 takes you? I'd love to hear more about your stories.
Until next time!
xo, Elizabeth
