Last Decade : 10 Accomplishments and 3 Regrets
Written By Esther Davy
woah. 10 years are gone.
A LOT has changed for me this past decade. I transformed from a 22 year old college student, to a 32 year old mother, writer, and adventurer. Looking back it’s been a decade of growth and joy with lots of accomplishments and some regrets. Instead of reading this post and thinking, “Wow, Esther is so accomplished” I hope it inspires you to reflect on how much you’ve grown and accomplished these past 10 years.
