Imagine you had started a year-long project and committed to blogging about new experiences once a month - because it was your year of making new experiences and of course you needed to write about it. And then suppose that at the end of every month you realized that time flies and holy shit is it already time to write that round-up post again? Exactly that.

Good news! You're actually not the one who committed - I am! And holy shit, is it already the end of the month again and time for a round-up post? I guess it is, so here we go...

A few days ago was my one-year anniversary of working for myself, livin' the freelance life. It's been quite the year - and I am grateful.
