2017 – A good year to Bre Brilliant!

Well, hello there 2017!  Something about the new year is just so refreshing to me.  The idea of having an entire calendar year to do things bigger and better than the year before is such a blessing in my book.  It’s also an awesome way to reflect on the past year – the good, the bad and everything in between.

2016 was a year of growth, personal changes and reflection as my boyfriend Liam and I moved to San Francisco after living in the South Bay for several years.  The move has brought forth so many wonderful opportunities that I would have never discovered if we hadn’t moved out of our comfort home, I mean zone, in suburbia – indulging more in photography, writing, and my overall artistic side.  I know what you’re thinking; the South Bay isn’t THAT far from San Francisco, but moving further away from family and close friends definitely felt like a big move for both Liam and I since we spent so much time with them.  I’m constantly reminding myself that “distance makes the heart grow fonder” and that they aren’t as far away as my mind likes to make me think.  The move has also helped me to learn how to spend more time doing things that make me happy, hence why I started the blog!  And for the last several months, I’ve had the opportunity to explore a city that holds so much color and life.  A city that I had always dreamt of being able to call home that is now helping me explore more of what makes me Bre.  I have also met so many new people I now call friends 🙂 . I can’t help but fall more in love with my new home each and every day.

My hopes for 2017 are high and I can’t wait to share more of me with you this year.  Wishing you all the best in 2017!
