Recap, Review, or Reflection? Cymplified!
Recap. Review. Reflection. Whatever. Blogs are expected to post a year-end entry or a reflection of the year that was, it seems. There are also some that look forward to the things that the new year will bring. The "one word" that will hopefully be the guidance to achieve goals. Shall I do a recap, review, or reflection?
