As 2019 comes to a close and the dawn of a new decade is upon us, its time to reflect at the year that was and take any lessons learnt into the new year. Some of you may have had a wonderful year and achieved great things, some of you may have struggled whilst others may have experienced loss in some way. For me, I had some nice moments during 2019 but it was also the year I lost my mother and so I will always remember 2019 with some sadness. I feel very optimistic about 2020, I see myself doing many wonderful things but it saddens me that my mother won't be there to share it with us. She loved to be a part of everything.
