The end of a decade.
I don’t really know what to call this closing decade; was it the 10s of the 2000s?
Sounds weird to call it the 10s, don’t you think?
Still, that’s what I shall call it for these remaining hours.
The 10s were an eventful decade for me.
I was still a newlywed at the start of the decade, as well as a newbie blogger, living high running, cycling, and traveling the world.
We had New York, France, Belgium, Berlin.
There was San Francisco x 2 and Sonoma County too.
We travelled to Portland, Seattle, Minnesota, Ontario, Penticton and Victoria.
Most all of which occurred in the first 2-3 years of the decade.
I ran my first marathon in 2010.
Hello Portland!
In 2011, I secretly started back at high school, upgrading all those maths and sciences I didn’t take seriously when journalism was my dream.
I was pregnant at the start of 2012 and a mom to the most beautiful boy by 3/4 of the way through.
Yes, I am totally biased.
2013, I started the count down.
2014, I said goodbye to journalism and hello to post-secondary.
2015, ’16, ’17, ’18, and ’19: it was all about the learning, learning, learning… and about being a Global Hero!
And now, here we are.
I started this decade with questions about my journalism career, which led me towards a dietetics education.
As we finish this decade, I’ve nearly finished my dietetics degree
By the end of 2020, I will be a registered dietitian.
And that’s pretty freaking cool!
Happy New Year 😀
You are an inspiration, for your child and for those around you! Keep fighting the good fight!
Thanks so much Shawn!!!
