A lovely, encouraging, compassionate post by Matt Kendrick, who has accomplished SO much and given SO much this past year. I'm truly blown away by his generosity. Read this and consider subscribing to his wonderful newsletter. 💙
My December #CraftArticle is all about reflections, looking back at the end of a year or at the end of a long project and contemplating the achievement in that. What did we write? What did we learn? What did we gain? What did we overcome?

Turning Around to Admire the View
Sitting down to write this article, I find myself not only at the end of a year but also at the end of a long project (or at least, at the end of a first draft).
