Time sure flies! Post-eggnog, it’s easy to speed forward and cleanse your system from all the holiday indulgence, but before you start drinking your freshly juiced carrots, take the much needed time you’ve been promising yourself all year for meditation and contemplation over 2017. Nothing will better inform and shape how you approach the new year than a good, honest ‘Year End Reflection’.
TourCollierville took that moment of quiet reflection over the bounty of 2017. It was a good year – full of exciting new ventures, but we most enjoyed sharing stories with all of you that we hope have touched you in some small way. We thought highlighting some of our favorite national events from 2017 might jog your memory of other wonderful events that happened in last 365 days, before we hit the ground running into the new year!
