You've probably heard of a yearly review. A chance in December to look back at what worked, what didn't work and the things you learned along the way. But at the end of 2019, we are not only on the cusp of a new year, we are entering a brand new decade!

Too often we fail to see the progress we've made. If you're like me, you can get so caught up on how far you still have to go, that you miss out on how far you have come.

In this episode, I share practical tips and tools for how to do a"Decade in Review"- [LISTEN using the player at the top of the page]

Don't miss the downloadable worksheets designed to help you keep your eyes fixed on God as you acknowledge the struggles in the past decade, but also celebrate the wins. Let's move forward into the year 2020 with 20/20 vision.
