Happy New Year!
Hard to believe we've entered a new decade. Over the past few weeks, I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about the past 10 years. I spent the better part of it building the Dwell by Cheryl brand and business from the ground up. Here's a look back at my very blog first post on January 1, 2012. Wow (and yikes)! I spent this next few years working hard to turn my passion into my career and five years later, on January 1, 2017, that's exactly what I did. I wrote all about it here. And well...you know the rest.
If you've been around here for any length of time you know that the last couple of years have been nothing short of amazing. A recap wouldn't do it justice, so I'll just leave it at that.
While it's been an amazing ride, none of it has been easy. Last year was filled with highs and lows and riddled with lots of learning lessons. To be expected, I suppose. In preparation for the new year, my team spent a few days locked away reviewing the past year and planning for the new one. We spent a lot of time on our mission and core values. It seems that in recent months, these things have become more and more clear.
It's been interesting to see our business evolve over time. It's even more exciting to feel the greater sense of alignment with purpose lately.
We had the pleasure of working on some amazing projects last year...
Got some pretty darn good press...
...and we can hardly wait to see what 2020 and this new decade has in store. All I can say is, buckle up, it's going to be a fun ride!
Happy New Year!
