Today we are re-capping the top 10 most read posts on IHOD in 2018. I am always tempted to withdraw the personal aspect of this blog and keep it mainly focused on design, because that would be easier than to put the hard parts of your life on display, right?  As someone who loves to find meaning in my work (INFJ here), I keep pushing myself to keep this place an honest one that doesn’t give a false portrayal of perfectionism. We would always prefer connection and community over painting a pretty picture!  It looks like you appreciate that too. Sigh of relief! So without further ado….

Thank you for showing up for us in big ways this year. I have been trying to think of more ways to give back to you this year as readers. Gabe and I have some fun up our sleeves;) We are always open to hearing your feedback and suggestions for what you would like to see here on IHOD. You can email us anytime!

I am not usually someone who feels all of the motivation to start or change things in January (that comes in the summer for me), but it does always force me to look at all of the good and hard and in between and adjust the moving forward part of our lives. Wishing you all the happiest new year!
