I'm working on getting my office cleaned up and ready for 2024. While I was doing that I thought it would be fun to put together a video where I flip through all the projects I've worked on in 2023. As you watch this video I don't want you to have any thoughts of competition or that you didn't do enough (check out this post about finding your own "enough": https://www.aliedwards.com/2016/10/es.... People in our community participate in these projects when it works for them. Please remember that this is my job and part of my job is to share ideas and ways of documenting - you get to be the boss of your own experience and find the projects that fit your own season of life. Don't let your hobby cause stress or make you feel less than. You are awesome just as you are right now.

While filming this video I was so filled with gratitude for memory keeping. I am so thankful that this is such a big part of my life and that we get to come together to encourage and inspire each other to tell the stories of our lives. Thank you for being a part of this community and thank you for sharing your own stories along the way.
