For some reason I started doing “selfies” on my birthday a few years ago, and despite that I’m not a huge fan of them because 1 – it’s hard to do by yourself and 2 – I feel a bit narcissistic. But it’s become kind of a self-reflection I do once a year.

If any of you remember last year’s they were a bit…raw. It was a difficult year for so many reasons, but I got through it and this year’s offerings reflect that. I post them as a reminder to myself, and to you, that all things will pass and even if they leave a mark we can go on.
