In 2016 I started this blog. I didn’t know what the heck I was doing, but I started it anyway. And I’ve learned and grown along the way.

I used to keep myself pretty covered up, but I’ve gained some body confidence this year.

I bared my arms.

I bared my legs.

I had fit fails.

And learned of my latent penchant for “nightgown dresses.”

And started to get a sense for my own style.

I went to The Curvy Con! It was amazing to be surrounded by beautiful, confident, plus size women and I can’t wait to go back in 2017.

I was a director (aka bossy).

I was The King of the World!

I laughed…

I let the wind blow in my hair…

I twirled…

And threw my hands in the air.

Sometimes I don’t know WHAT the heck was going on…

But through it all, I had fun, I’ve made new friends, I’ve had the help of many wonderful new people…so I’m saying SO LONG, 2016…

And I’m looking forward to what awaits me in 2017. I have some new goals: both personally and for the blog…see ya in the new year!
