Links I Love Week 4
It has been another snowy and cold week in Chicago. As I type this, snow continues to fall outside my window. I met up with my friend Kim to share my goals for 2019 and I excited to see how this year plays out. I will be sharing more on my goals on February 1. I gave myself the month of January to reflect and recharge which has been much needed.
Insomnia has gotten the best of me this week. I want to blame it on the full moon but it has lasted a few days. There is no good reason for it. I am surrendering to it and I am taking the opportunity to put a dent in this book. To be honest, I have felt stuck when it comes to reading lately and I haven’t wanted to dig into anything. I spent a few hours reading this last night and I can’t wait to get back to it. I actually like reading in the quiet at 3 am when no one else is awake.

I love Grace’s honesty in this post. She explains blogging well as we are just normal people with very public lives. It is something I struggle with a lot. She shares way more than I do personally. When it comes down to it, I am not just protecting myself from privacy but the people around me (friends/family) that don’t necessarily want their lives out in the public.
