The Six Most Impactful Moments of my Teen Years. Today I’m sharing with y’all six impactful moments of my teen years. (Well, six positive moments. I don’t really care to think about the negative moments today.) I’m really excited! Each of these moments are very dear to my heart, and they have shaped me to the young woman I am today. (Note: These moments are listed in order of my age when I experienced them, not in order of importance.)… Read more »
