Friday Check In: Savor what is to come

 [yTravel_logo__250_x_72_.png] [WEB147476-4160B5B8-2AE8-B1AC-B6F5-840BED7DBD1B.jpg] Happy New Year {NAME} We hope you are celebrating the year that was and the one to come. I have been busy this past week, reflecting on the past year, appreciating the good and bad, and working on creating a more fulfilling 2022.  2021 had its ups and downs. But it was still a year filled with many joyful moments, wonderful people, and experiences to be grateful for. I have chosen my word for the year: SAVOR: To taste, breathe in, appreciate, care for. I have been moving and striving my entire adult life, even more so the past 12 years as we've build a successful travel blog, worked to get an (impossible) green card, and buy a house in Raleigh. We finally made the dream happen and have planted roots in a community we love. It's now time to SAVOR 🤗 All The Things. Savor also has the feeling of believing many blessings are here, and on their way.  I'm so looking forward to this new 2022 chapter for our family. I wish that joy for you Namaste 🙏 💗 Caroline, Craig, Savannah and Kalyra P.S. What is your word for the year?
