It was a productive year here at Let Why Lead! I did a re-design, wrote 9 articles for other sites, finally started a newsletter, made some wonderful new friends and connections, hosted round two of the Marriage Diaries, got quoted in the WSJ, and published 122 posts. Phew! (All for barely any money / just because I love doing it! haha)
I wanted to share some of my best posts today. If nothing else, it helps me see the forest for the trees—what I’m really writing about week after week. And if you missed any, now’s your chance to catch them!

I couldn’t end the year without a monstrous thank you to all of you who visit here regularly! Sometimes I think that thoughtful writing has a hard time finding a home on the internet. But we’re carving out something special here, and I’m so grateful for all of you like-minded, big-picture women who read and discuss and share and just generally keep coming back. Thank you so much!
I’m off for the rest of the year (moving!), but keep in touch on Facebook, and I’ll see you in 2015!
