10 things I reflected on in 2018

10 things I reflected on in 2018 It’s that traditional time of year when you review the past 12 months and look forward to the next 12 with a set of plans and aspirations.  In the modern world of social media this often takes the format of a drunkenly thrown together, overly emotional facebook post,…
