Post #10: Our Journey So Far
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost four years since we started the journey of Hello Someday Wine. It’s so rewarding to look back and see how far we have come deciding that our “Someday” started now.
The journey can be difficult and we might have moments where our dreams may seem unattainable, but as Mae West once said “I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.”
Sometimes it takes the process of looking back to realize how far you have come. Keep reading for a recap of our journey so far.
