We have been talking a lot, in our squad and in our own team, about who we are and what it is that makes us who we are. So we decided one day as a team to take a week to each write out a list containing these things; things we love, enjoy, believe, things that make us happy and sad, etc. ANYTHING goes!
It was really an incredible experience for me to really sit down and consider what it is that I love because I honestly do not think I have ever done that before. So, here it is, my list (which is a work in progress for sure- it is a list that can always be added to)! Enjoy!
