Hey gapmusers! It’s hard to believe that we’re nearing the end of 2016! Despite the year being challenging for me on so many levels, I’m grateful that I was able to accomplish many of my goals for the year. Most importantly, I’m thankful that I’m ending it in good health. There’s so much to celebrate and to be grateful for including being able to keep our blog alive.
Here’s a peek back at our most notable and memorable achievements in 2016:
