Here’s the first Link-End Round-Up of 2017 after quick hiatus. Glad to be back! I hope your new year is starting off on a good and positive note. Although it’s been taking me a little longer than planned to get back on track after the holidays, my year has started off on a great note. I got a pretty hefty (and overdue) raise at work and an upcoming bonus once I finish the big project I’m working on. So, my work life is going rather good right about now.

To be honest, as I entered this year, I reflected on my life as a whole and realized I’m a good space right now. However, I still have room for more growth in other areas of my life and I’m working on planting seeds in those areas.

In the meantime, please enjoy some of the reads I’ve read over the past couple of weeks. See ya next week!
