What were some of your highlights of 2020? See what our fans say about the bright side of 2020 and how we will carry these highs with us into 2021.
In the year 2020, we have all been through it, I am not one for making a New Year’s resolution, per se. But I do believe in reflection, which can often lead to goal-setting. And who isn’t down for some motivation as we head into 2021?
It might be easy to say we will take nothing good from 2020. For some of us, we can’t see any other way. And that’s okay. It is absolutely okay to be in a dark place. This year has done us all dirty.
But there have been some highlights for many of us. There have been some -dare I say- GOOD things that happened in 2020. It can’t all be bad. At least not all the time. And hey, if the best thing that happened to you all year was way back on January 3rd of 2020, it still counts!
We asked you, our Twiniversity fans what your highlights of 2020 were and as always, you delivered.

Funny Highlights of 2020
“I’ve learned I don’t really like people!” Lauren O.
“I’m living my best life. Changing from yoga pants to sweatpants, watching TV for 6 hours a day, painting my bedroom every 2 months, and baking every kind of bread known to man is everything I have been dreaming of for more than 30 years. I may never go back to pants again.” Tiffany R.

“Discovered my love for mimosas?” Laura B.
“My birthday party in January 2020. That’s about all I got. LOL” Julie B.
