The Happiest Years of My Life
When I started blogging about work-life balance, and personal and professional development, I began enjoying life more and more each day. It’s not because my life is perfect, nor because I have everything I want- far from it! Life continues to have it’s ups and downs, challenges and joys.
My happiness flourished when writing about loving my work and my life inspired me to make the most of life every day. Loving my life is a daily practice of purpose, growth, gratitude, friendship, and celebration. That’s really all there is to it.
February is my bloggiversary! Two years ago this month I started Live Love Work. Little did I know I would grow personally and professionally, find wonderful friends, and experience new levels of happiness thanks to this blog.
