In August 2019, I finally launched my Instagram TV channel with the thrill and excitement of including my photo in the September 25th issue. Recently, on Christmas Eve, I added another episode for the AARP: SIsterhood Is Beautiful Essay Contest. As a year in review, 2019 marked defining moments.
The end of the year is the perfect time to evaluate my blogger vision board goals. Where did I land?
